meet Raniah!
I'm very happy to announce that, for the 1st time ever, senior teacher Raniah Al-Sayed will visit Holland to share her deep knowledge about the Lucid Body technique.
Lucid Body, originally founded by Fay Simpson in New York City, is a holistic training, based on the belief that self-knowledge is the most important ingredient to your creative process. Visit Lucid Body NYC
Lucid Body aims to break up patterns, habits and blocks within the physical and emotional body, allowing new impulses to be expressed and new behaviours explored.
The seven chakra energy centers will be introduced as tools to differentiate human behavior based on intent.
See Lucid Body in action!

The program of the 3-day workshop
Each workshop day consists of a rigorous, introspective warm-up, connecting physical body to emotional body. This is followed by a range of exercises that challenge the artist to stay emotionally engaged with their physical body while expanding their range of accessible self. We work individually, in pairs and groups, through improvisation, movement sequences and character development. We work towards emotional elasticity, physical strength, releasing judgement and quieting the censor. With this in motion, we create vibrant, dynamic, fluid, daring artists and healthy individuals.
