Soul Motion
“Soul Motion”是一种有意识的运动和舞蹈冥想练习，它通过引导式的即兴运动来探索身体、关系意识和创造力。它强调临在、好奇心以及与自我、他人和鲜活世界的联结。
Soul Motion 通过课程、工作坊、静修和专业培训项目在国际上进行实践，并以将动作即兴创作与正念、关系探究和表达艺术相结合而闻名。
起源
Soul Motion 由 Vincent Martínez-Grieco 于 20 世纪 90 年代末至 21 世纪初创立。Martínez-Grieco 是一位舞蹈家、编舞家和动作教师，他的背景包括 Contact Improvisation、冥想练习和表现性动作。
这种实践源于舞蹈即兴创作、身体意识和关系探究的综合，强调舞蹈既是个人探索，也是共享的、参与式的体验。
核心原则
Soul Motion 基于以下几项指导原则：
- “临在”——培养对当下感觉、冲动和选择的觉察。
- “关系”——探索与他人、空间和环境的关系。
- “创造力”——重视即兴发挥和真实表达，而非固定形式。
- “整合”——连接内在体验与外在行动。
Soul Motion 不注重表演或技巧，而是重视生活经验和身体力行的聆听。
Practice
Soul Motion sessions involve guided movement explorations supported by music, verbal prompts, and spatial awareness. There is no choreography; participants are invited to follow sensation, curiosity, and relational impulses as they arise.
Common elements of a session may include:
- solo movement and self-attunement,
- partner and group improvisation,
- exploration of space, proximity, and boundaries,
- integration through stillness, reflection, or creative expression.
Teachers often draw attention to how movement choices reflect inner states, habits, and relational patterns.
Movement landscapes
Soul Motion uses a conceptual framework often described as movement landscapes, which support navigation between different modes of experience. These landscapes may include:
- inner awareness and personal movement inquiry,
- relational and social dance,
- collective and environmental connection.
These frameworks function as orienting maps rather than prescriptive structures, encouraging exploration and adaptability.
Teacher training
Soul Motion offers an international teacher training programme for movement facilitators. The training typically spans several years and includes:
- immersive residential modules,
- supervised teaching practice,
- mentoring and peer learning,
- personal process and creative inquiry.
Graduates are authorised to teach Soul Motion classes and workshops and participate in an ongoing professional community.
Community and reach
Soul Motion is practiced in many countries across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Oceania. The international network is supported by Soul Motion International, which coordinates training, teacher support, and global events.
Relationship to conscious dance
Soul Motion is part of the broader conscious dance and movement field and shares affinities with practices such as contact improvisation, Open Floor, and other improvisation-based movement modalities. It is distinguished by its strong emphasis on relational awareness, creative process, and participatory dance.
