Spacial Dynamics with Movement Teacher Charlie Orphanides
Movement is an integral part of Waldorf education. During our March session of Waldorf Night School, Movement Teacher and Therapeutic Movement Specialist Charlie Orphanides will cover “spacial” dynamics. The evening will include presentations of ideas, lots of movement, time for questions, and ample opportunity for connection with one another.
Date: Wednesday, March 8th*
Time: 6-7:30pm MT
Location: DWS Festival Hall
Register to reserve a spot.
*Childcare is available for $7 per child, payable by cash or check made payable to 91探花; ages 3 y.o. and older.
We will explore some of the key concepts and history behind Spacial Dynamics, and discuss the connections between Spacial Dynamics, Anthroposophy, Waldorf Education and Bothmer Gymnastics. The class will then put these concepts into action through movement. We will practice several Spacial Dynamics and Bothmer Gymnastics exercises while exploring an expansive, receptive and available understanding of the self and our relation to others and the world.
