The Evolution of Motion
OneTaste, San Francisco, CA
Taught by Dr. Frank Wildman

Our most personal capacities to move, feel and think are related to hidden evolutionary mechanisms. Through exploratory movement laboratories we will discover how human motion and human awareness arose together through both persistent environmental pressures and rapidly increasing choices in sexual selection. This daylong distillation is a synthesis of a program designed for Feldenkrais trainings as well as for audiences involved in the arts or sciences. Newcomers to the Feldenkrais method may find it an interesting introduction to the breadth and depth of the method. This program promises to make abstract ideas a very moving experience OPEN TO PUBLIC, TRAINEES, AND PRACTITIONERS
