| SOMA refers to 'the body experienced from within' |
Somatic Movement Arts Festival, L.A.
Performance Lab
Continuum movement will be the particular somatic portal through which we organize our Lab
score building though every morning students will be tasting from a fuller palette of somatic
movement offerings. Whether you live nearby or are coming from far away, it is necessary to
carve out the week for in-depth work together.
The festival has been structured to facilitate a deep somatic unfolding that will support the
Performance Lab process. Beginning with morning class, Performance Lab students will warm
during our Lab hours (so there is harmony to our starting point each day and we use our
Performance Lab class time most efficiently). Select additional rehearsal hours have been set
aside for extra help from Performance Lab facilitators. There will be two conference calls prior
to the start of the session that will begin the process of connecting and finding out about each
person's journey thus far and what they are hoping to express. The Lab will culminate in a
performance at Soma Fest on Sunday.
