CLASS DESCRIPTION:
Tamalpa Life/Art* Spine Dances
If your spine could speak, what would it say?
Using tools from the Level 1 training program at Tamalpa Institute, we will explore the resources living in our spinal
columns. Mindful movement, breath awareness, drawing and writing prime the creative pump and encourage the wisdom
of the body to choreograph our dances. In this workshop, we will engage in:
~ Movement Ritual, a series of floor-based movements created by Anna Halprin to increase body awareness, range of
motion, tone and flexibility;
~ Intermodal expressive arts (non-stylized movement, drawing, writing, and sound) to access the wisdom of the body and
the imagination, fueling our creative inquiries from the inside out.
No previous experience is necessary. Art materials provided.
*originated by Anna Halprin, and developed by Daria Halprin and other senior faculty members of Tamalpa Institute

BIOGRAPHY:
Elisabeth Osgood-Campbell, M.A., R.S.M.E.*, is a skilled dancer, teacher and ritual facilitator who
cherishes the body and the imagination, and all that they have to teach us about inhabiting the
animate earth with awareness and appreciation. A graduate of Stanford University with honors, she
can also be described as an academic in recovery who teaches somatic movement and creative arts
to mend the mind-body split in herself and others.
Her teaching and performance work integrate creative, embodied awareness practices she has
studied with master teachers over the past 13 years: Tamalpa Life/Art (Anna Halprin, Daria Halprin
and senior faculty members of Tamalpa Institute) and Continuum movement (Emilie Conrad, Elaine
Colandrea). Please see www.eco-movement-arts.com for more information. Elisabeth advocates for
practitioners of somatic movement and creative arts by serving on the Boards of Directors of
Tamalpa Institute (2003 – 2009) and the International Somatic Movement Education and Therapy
Association (ISMETA) from 2008 – present. She also guides students interested in earning Master
degrees in these fields through Lesley University’s Self-Designed Masters Degree Program. As a
mother of two young children, Elisabeth believes passionately in the power of the practices she
teaches to integrate body, mind, soul and earth so that we can evolve, individually and collectively, in
sustainable ways. May it be so… for the sake of the future generations, human and more-than-human,
in the web of life. * Registered Somatic Movement Educator (See www.ismeta.org for more
