Μάθημα σωματικής επανεκπαίδευσης με στόχο τη βελτίωση της κινητικότητας και της λειτουργικότητας του σώματος. Με τη μέθοδο Feldenkrais, επανεκπαιδεύουμε τη μυοσκελετική οργάνωση του σώματος που είναι απαραίτητη για μια λειτουργική κίνηση. Ωφελεί όσους πάσχουν από νευρομυοσκελετικούς και χρόνιους πόνους και όσους επιθυμούν να διευρύνουν τις κινητικές τους ικανότητες. Είναι κατάλληλο για όλες τις ηλικίες και δεν απαιτεί προηγούμενη εμπειρία στην κίνηση.

ΤΙ ΕΙΝΑΙ Η ΜΕΘΟΔΟΣ FELDENKRAIS
Η Μέθοδος Feldenkrais που πήρε το όνομά της από τον Ισραηλινό Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais τον άνθρωπο που τη δημιούργησε, τη δίδαξε και τη διέδωσε, είναι μια μέθοδος σωματικής επανεκπαίδευσης με στόχο τη βελτίωση της κινητικότητας.
Eστιάζει στη σχέση και στην αλληλεπίδραση του νευρικού και του μυο-σκελετικού μας συστήματος, στοχεύει στην ισορροπημένη μεταξύ τους συνεργασία, απαραίτητη για την εργονομία και την ευστοχία κάθε ανθρώπινης δράσης, και βοηθά το άτομο να βελτιώσει πολλές πλευρές της καθημερινότητάς του, από το απλό περπάτημα, ή το κάθισμα, έως την απόδοσή του σε πιο απαιτητικές δραστηριότητες.
Χρησιμοποιεί ήπιες κινήσεις με στόχο την αύξηση του εύρους και της ευκολίας στην κίνηση και τη γενικότερη βελτίωση της λειτουργικότητας του ανθρώπινου σώματος. Ωφελεί όσους πάσχουν από νευρομυοσκελετικούς και χρόνιους πόνους ή έχουν κινητικές δυσκολίες, αλλά και όσους επιθυμούν να διευρύνουν τις κινητικές τους ικανότητες.

ΜΑΘΗΜΑΤΑ
Η μέθοδος Feldenkrais εφαρμόζεται με δύο τρόπους:
Α. Ομαδικά μαθήματα ΑΤΜ – Αwareness Through Μovement ( Συνειδητοποίηση μέσω της κίνησης)
Σε αυτά τα μαθήματα καλούνται οι μαθητές να εξερευνήσουν, να αισθανθούν και να συνειδητοποιήσουν το σώμα τους. Αυτή η αναζήτηση σκοπό έχει να ανακαλύψει ο καθένας μόνος του, τι είναι καλό για αυτόν. Προτείνονται απλές και αργές κινήσεις που προάγουν τη μυική χαλάρωση, χωρίς περιττή προσπάθεια, μέσα στα όρια της “εύκολης και άνετης” κίνησης για τον καθένα, επιτρέποντας την αλλαγή της στάσης του ατόμου μέσω ενός νέου κινητικού προτύπου. Το κάθε μάθημα αποτελεί μια ξεχωριστεί ενότητα, ανάλογα με τη λειτουργία του σώματος που πραγματεύεται π.χ. περιστροφή της σπονδυλικής στήλης, κάμψη, έκταση κλπ. Οι κινήσεις γίνονται κυρίως με σημείο αναφοράς το πάτωμα. Τα είναι κατάλληλα για όλες τις ηλικίες χωρίς να χρειάζεται προηγούμενη εμπειρία στην κίνηση.
Β. Ατομικά μαθήματα FI – Functional Inte gration (Λειτουργική .δράση) που είναι ατομικές συνεδρίες που προσαρμόζονται στις ανάγκες του κάθε ατόμου. Στο FI o δάσκαλος κινεί τα μέλη του σώματος του μαθητή με αργές και ακριβείς κινήσεις, εξερευνώντας τις κινητικές του συνήθειες και προτείνοντας (με τα χέρια του) πιο εύκολες και αποτελεσματικές δυνατότητες. Πρακτικά, ο μαθητής παραμένει αδρανής, στην πραγματικότητα όμως το σώμα συνειδητοποιεί τη νέα αυτή γνώση και την αφομοιώνει, με αποτέλεσμα οι λιγότερο κινητικές περιοχές του σώματος να ενταχθούν στη συνολική κίνηση, ενώ οι πιο επιβαρυμένες να αποφορτιστούν. Μετά το πρώτο κιόλας μάθημα ο μαθητής αντιλαμβάνεται ότι μπορεί να κινηθεί διαφορετικά.

ΣΕ ΤΙ ΩΦΕΛΕΙ
Βελτιώνει την κίνηση και τη στάση του σώματος.
Εντοπίζει σωματικές συνήθειες που επιβαρύνουν τον σκελετό και δυσκολεύουν την καθημερινότητα.
Περιορίζει πόνους στη μέση, τον αυχένα, τους ώμους, την πλάτη, τα γόνατα κ.ά.
Συμβάλλει στην αποκατάσταση τραυματισμών και μας μαθαίνει πώς να προλάβουμε τραυματισμούς στο μέλλον.
Βελτιώνει το συντονισμό μεταξύ των μελών του σώματος, διευκολύνοντας έτσι την κίνηση, την ισορροπία και την αναπνοή.
Ξαναζωντανεύει ξεχασμένες κινήσεις του σώματος.
Προσφέρει μιαν αίσθηση ευεξίας και χαλάρωσης.
Μας μαθαίνει να διαχειριζόμαστε καλύτερα στρεσογόνες καταστάσεις, χωρίς να προκαλούμε ένταση στο σώμα μας.
Μας βοηθάει να γνωρίσουμε καλύτερα τον εαυτό μας μέσα από την κίνηση, να ανακαλύψουμε νέες δυνατότητές του και να εξελιχθούμε.

ΠΟΥ ΠΡΟΤΕΙΝΕΤΑΙ
Η μέθοδος Feldenkrais απευθύνεται σε όλες τις ηλικίες και συγκεκριμένα σε άτομα που ταλαιπωρούνται από χρόνιους νευρομυοσκελετικούς πόνους ή έχουν κινητικές δυσκολίες, σε εγκύους, αλλά και όσους επιθυμούν να διευρύνουν τις κινητικές τους ικανότητες, να βελτιώσουν την καθημερινότητά τους τονώνοντας το σώμα και την ψυχολογία τους.
Μουσικοί, ηθοποιοί, αθλητές και χορευτές επεκτείνουν τις ικανότητες και τη δημιουργικότητά τους. Άνθρωποι μεγαλύτερης ηλικίας βοηθούνται να διατηρήσουν ή να επανακτήσουν την ικανότητά τους να κινούνται χωρίς κόπο και δυσκολία ή πόνο.

* Τι πρέπει να έχετε μαζί σας: Άνετα ρούχα, κάλτσες, μια μικρή κουβέρτα και ένα μικρό μαξιλαράκι.
* Συστήνεται στα μαθήματα να φέρνει ο καθένας το δικό του στρωματάκι (στην περίπτωση που το διαθέτει ήδη) και το δικό του παγούρι ή μπουκαλάκι με νερό.

Landing Sensing Moving
“Landing Sensing Moving” is the last research project of the PhD thesis “Transitional space in performance and architecture”. The practice explores the lived experience of space in site specific performance. It searches new choreographic devices based on the bodily knowledge that comes through the senses, tactile, intuitive and imaginative. Transitional spaces reveal a complex web of relationships, emotions and responses that are waiting to be expressed through movement. They create the desire towards connection within landscape where we can connect with ourselves and the world around us.

Open Call
During the workshop we will focus on the experience of space through the body. Working outdoors in the island of Syros we will explore notions of identity and becoming through our senses and the relationship with the place. Using exercises from somatic techniques, body psychotherapy and instant composition we will create a movement practice through which we will become more present and connected with the environment.
In the end, there will be an open presentation of the practice. The material of the workshop will be used as part of the research after acquired the consent of the participants. We will meet the period between 2-6 November (2 hours daily) with an open presentation on the 7th.
The workshop is open to everyone.

D A L I K A DANCE COMPANY | NEW PRODUCTION “KRISSIS 11”

Athens, present, today A man’s home; his most personal space is transformed into an urban single life myth hideout for the aspects and parts of his character that reveals ways and escape routes from his everyday life. Following the surrealistic solo of a woman residing at 36 Pythonos St, which was premiered May 2020, a new peephole opens from the apartment across the street. At 11 Krissis St, the audience becomes the observer of another intermediate space, where the personal becomes public, bringing into spotlight the man that stands before the world yet even more before his own self.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

Discovering our Under/pants

“Discovering our Under/pants” is actress and performer’s Nayias T. Karacosta project in relation with her residency programme “Moving the new” at Dance house Limassol.
The project was created out of the need to talk about the female body, our self-disposition and pleasures through techniques derived from documentary theater.
This research started from a series of recorded interviews of women who spoke about their experiences regarding (or lack of) self-pleasuring.
Their stories were then morphed into a script and the script into a performance (“Under/pants” part 1).
As the research went along, it branched out into workshops, where through the use of theater games we talk about our bodies and our experiences- memories regarding them.
At the same time the second part of this research is how the narration of the interviewers/participants true body affects her own body as a performer and how this new body can transform into a new artistic expression.
The project aims at the collection of research data for further expanding on the ongoing script to become “Under/pants” part 2.

OPEN CALL FOR “Discovering our under/pants”

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

Eyelands is choreographer Riccardo Buscarini’s travelling project dedicated to the islands and their culture. The play between “i” and “eye” in the title is intended to suggest a research on identity through a specific observation, such as an in-depth, scientific study.
Eyelands aims to speak of the historical and social value of belonging and the relevance of a profound gaze on the world as an instrument to get to know ourselves as individuals and communities. It is a project that celebrates the potential of culture and movement, understood both as a functional action and an artistic expression, to create bridges between people, places and cultures that are far away -in space and time.
After La Gomera (Canary Islands), Malta and Cyprus, the next chapter of the project will be held in Syros.
The project takes the form of a series of periods of residency of two or more weeks on an island. Riccardo Buscarini chooses a specific characteristic of the island which becomes the topic of the research. A series of interviews, meetings, targeted visits and a movement workshop with the participation of a group of local people focusses on this particular aspect – of the orography, of the language, of the handicraft, of the folklore, etc. The purpose of the period of residence is the creation and presentation of a public performance speaking of the island and its culture through its inhabitants’ bodies.

OPEN CALL FOR “EYELANDS”

Riccardo is looking for a group of adult people (possibly about 8-10 people) who are willing to take part in this creative process. We will be talking, moving, telling stories and sharing our perspectives on identity, traditions and what makes us who we are.
No previous experience in dance or movement is necessary.

Dates: 4 hours per day during the period 7-9 July and open performance on the 10^th of July.
The performance will be included in the 8^th International Dance & Dancetheatre Festival “Akropoditi DanceFest” 2021 events, in Hermoupolis, Syros.
