Open Floor
Open Floor 是一种充满活力、注重觉知的运动练习，它融合了舞蹈、身体觉知、情商和关系探索。Open Floor 植根于数十年的觉知舞蹈传承，并由国际教师团队共同开发，它邀请参与者将运动作为一种疗愈、增强韧性、激发创造力和建立联结的资源。[1]
概述
Open Floor 将动作作为一种身心工具。在 Open Floor 课程或工作坊中，鼓励参与者探索一系列以当下觉知为基础的动作。课程通常融合引导式动作探索和自由舞蹈，引导身体、心灵、思想和灵魂进行积极的对话。[2]
这种练习融合了身体心理学、正念传统、创伤知情引导以及其他意识舞蹈方法，例如 5节奏 和 Soul Motion。它强调身体不仅是一个概念，更是一种鲜活的体验。
Core Curriculum
The Open Floor curriculum is structured around four key dimensions:
- Physical Embodiment: Awareness and exploration of the body through movement
- Emotional Embodiment: Recognition, expression, and integration of feelings through dance
- Mindful Awareness: Cultivating presence, curiosity, and non-judgment
- Relational Intelligence: Engaging with others through movement, boundaries, and empathy
Within these domains, students engage with tools such as:
- Movement Resources (e.g., Grounding, Centering, Articulation)
- Relational Dynamics (e.g., One-to-One, Group, Witnessing)
- The Four Continuums (e.g., Fluidity & Rigidity, Presence & Absence)
Teaching Approach
Open Floor teachers are trained to create safe, inclusive, and generative spaces. Sessions may include:
- Thematic movement inquiries
- Periods of personal reflection
- Verbal guidance and silence
- Partner or group exercises
- Emotional processing through movement
Classes vary in length and style, from weekly drop-ins to multi-day workshops and in-depth training modules.
