We’re very excited today to announce the release of a new set of free resources for somatic practice: Body and Earth: Seven Web-Based Somatic Excursions. These seven short films, now available online, are accompanying materials for the experiential books written by Andrea Olsen and Caryn McHose, including The Place of Dance, Body and Earth, How Life Moves, and Bodystories. Created with funding from the Digital Liberal Arts at Middlebury College and filmed in international locations across North America and the United Kingdom, this project represents the aesthetic, conceptual and digital collaboration between Andrea Olsen, Caryn McHose, and dance/digital media artist Scotty Hardwig. Intended for personal use or as educational tools for teaching movement awareness and environmental practice, these films can be used individually part by part or linked for an hour-long practice. We hope you enjoy these resources, and we welcome any responses, communications, or requests. More information can be found below:
