Anger All Angles

with Guy Gladstone

Sunday 27 January 09, 10am - 6.30pm, £65
(Full fee required to book)
January
2009
This theme workshop in the Sensations Series is designed to do justice to the complexity of anger. It is packed with tried and tested procedures for getting a handle on anger. A guiding assumption is that we need to be able to choose how we communicate it. To do this requires a first hand bodily knowledge of its workings.

There will be opportunities to practice the expression of anger in an assertive mode as an alternative to exploding in a damaging hurtful way or imploding into passive aggression. Cultivating expressive capacities will be balanced by a focus on anger management, both of your own and other's anger. Experiential learning during the workshop will be reinforced by copious handouts for your ongoing use.

Exercises will be both verbal and non-verbal, silent and noisy. Methods will include movement, writing, visualisation, drawing, expressive roleplay, somatic techniques, structured anger discharge and group discussion.

 Finding Your Strength:
Feldenkrais Method Workshop

with Scott Clark
Saturday 31 January 09
10.30am-4.30pm, £40

In the martial arts, our strength comes from the centre — the centre of our body, of our breathing, and of our serenity. For Feldenkrais, this meant the movements of the hip joints and lower back, with constant attention to the flow of breath. And with attention as well to the quality of movement, the finer and more inward changes of flow and texture of movement, we can develop a serenity from which true strength can grow — physical strength and more.

(Phone Scott on 020 8469 0245 for venue.)
