Contemporary dance workshop THE BODY AS AN OPEN SYSTEM with Tijen Lawton.

Artist and educator, Tijen Lawton delves into the body as an archive, merging artistic practice and teaching. Through research and commitment to the unexplainable in movement, she cultivates heightened senses and ignites creative potential.

Tijen's classes and workshops use a physically & emotionally demanding movement methodology designed to encourage, inspire and build awareness and connectivity in the constant search for movement.

The merging of awareness and action can allow for a conscious risk; a constant fall and abandon in the body combined with an understanding and availability to trust. By defining and refining independent movement materials for different parts in our body and segregating those parts from each other and by investigating a certain sequential order of the body, we can explore multi-dimensional movement and visit new and unfamiliar ways to move.
