20. May - 24. May 2010 (Whitsun)
Designed to support the development of
personal creative resources, perception and communication this small

emphasis is on developing creative, therapeutic, research, leadership
oriented, pedagogical and/or pastoral applications. The path towards
this is by way of self-immersion in a self-reflective and creative
process focussed on embodiment and the techniques developed from
Authentic Movement. There will be time and opportunity for individual
advice and coaching and the small group size promises a lively and
stimulating exchange between movers and witnesses.

MoverWitness Exchange
(MWE, Authentic Movement) mit Dr Eila Goldhahn
in der Akademie am Meer im Klappholttal auf Sylt
(in deutscher Sprache!)
23. August - 28. August 2010
Dieses Seminar ist gleichermassen als
professionelle Fortbildung wie auch als bildende Freizeit gedacht.
Individuelle Bewegungserfahrungen in freier Tanzimprovisation werden,
losgelöst von einem Druck sich auf bestimmte Weise darstellen zu
müssen, neu erspürt. Stattdessen geht es in diesem Seminar
darum, wie aus Bewegungsübungen und Stille Imagination in
kreativen Gesten, Bildern und Sprache entsteht und sich frei entfalten
kann. Dadurch wird erfahrbar wie eng eigentlich Physiologie mit
Psychologie und mit kreativem Gestalten verbunden sind.
Teilnehmende lernen sich über die so
erspürten Erfahrungen miteinander auszutauschen und diese für
ihre persönliche und berufliche Reise nutzbar zu machen. Ein
lebendiger Austausch zwischen Teilnehmenden wird durch empathisches
Gesehen werden, kreative Körperarbeit und darüber Sprechen
lernen behutsam gelenkt und öffnet dadurch neue Wahrnehmungen
für das eigene Selbst und für andere.
Das Seminar wird nachmittags Zeit für den köstlichen Genuss von Strand und Nordseewellen geben!
Seminarhaus: Akademie am Meer im
Klappholttal auf der Insel Sylt. Diese schon in den 20ger Jahren
gegründete Volkshochschule schmiegt sich wie ein kleines Dorf in
die Dünenlandschaft zwischen Wattenmeer und kilometerlangem
feinen, weissen Sandstrand ein. Die Unterbingung ist in
Zweibetthäuschen, auf Wunsch Einbetthäuschen, und das Seminar
findet in einem hellen Tanzstudio mit grosser Fensterfront statt.

International Authentic Movement Conference 2010 on Lanzarote
12th - 16th July, 2010
Bonnie Meekums, PhD, SrDMP (UK), University of Leeds
Eila Goldhahn, PhD, SrDMP (UK), Germany:
"What means 'Authenticity' in
Movement?" "We all want to be seen as we are. We all want to be what we
truly are." These thoughts are often shared by movers and witnesses. I
will offer a MoverWitness Exchange (MWE) to consider
participants' varied notions of authenticity and what it means to
expect ourselves and others to be "authentic". Can we really separate
what is and what is not "authentic"? How may we pass judgement on
ourselves and others in our longing for authenticity? Is authenticity
possibly an illusion or a hindrance on the path to being present
and free?
