In this series, we focus on a new area of the body each week. For each body part, we study anatomy and body mechanics, we explore its movement somatically, and we allow its wisdom to express through drawing, creative writing, and dance. By exploring our anatomy experientially and artistically, we connect more deeply with our bodies, creativity, and lived experience.Learning objectives for this series:Identify and embody various parts of the body through experiential anatomyUse the Tamalpa Life/Art Process to make connections between art-making and lived experiences.Draw on methods of somatic and expressive arts pedagogy as applied to health, embodiment, and creativity.No art or dance experience needed.To get the most out of this online class, please prepare a comfortable space to move in with access to your online device.
