Britta Lieberknecht has been teaching since 1981 and her rich, ever-growing background is listed here. Dance with gravity, dance and voice, voice and movement, dance performance, contact improvisation, dance with objects, Trisha Brown Repertory Profitraining/Workshops, the Feldenkrais Method and Dance your Anatomy have been her teaching forms so far.
Since completing her training as a Feldenkrais teacher, Britta Lieberknecht has been developing DyA for amateurs, advanced practitioners and professionals. She integrates her experience as a physiotherapist, Feldenkrais teacher, BMC studies and her lifelong exploration of dance.
The aim is the differentiation and development of movement and the completion of the body image and self-image. The result is freer and better-guided movement and access to our own rich potential.
We resolve unclear or blind spots in the body and body image. Areas that we feel little or as a block take shape and support our dance. They also have an emotional and energetic side that we use creatively.
With the help of 3D projections and explanations, we feel the living structure and get to know its function with small movements. With precise guidance, we experience how it supports movement through space and how it interacts with the entire movement system. In doing so, we integrate it into our balance and our sensory orientation. Playfully improvising, we use it as a source of dance and creativity.
There are several consecutive teaching units for each body part, which can also be practised and taught individually.
Moshé Feldenkrais was an engineer and physicist who explored the connections between human movement, behaviour, feeling and thinking in an ingenious way. He helped many well-known (and unknown!) personalities of his time to improve or resolve movement restrictions and to find themselves in the process. His method helps the body to find its best possible organisation.
A movement is explored in a light and playful way with different unfamiliar variations. Learning means trying things out and gaining experience, not forcing something on the movement system.
With mindfulness and sensitivity, we perform movement patterns while lying, sitting, standing and walking that promote our movement, self-awareness and creativity. We differentiate areas of our body that previously seemed to be absent or immobile and discover how our nervous system can learn without straining.
