Open Floor
Open Floor 是一種充滿活力、注重覺知的運動練習，它融合了舞蹈、身體覺知、情商和關係探索。Open Floor 植根於數十年的覺知舞蹈傳承，並由國際教師團隊共同開發，它邀請參與者將運動作為一種療愈、增強韌性、激發創造力和建立聯結的資源。[1]
概述
Open Floor 將動作作為一種身心工具。在 Open Floor 課程或工作坊中，鼓勵參與者探索一系列以當下覺知為基礎的動作。課程通常融合引導式動作探索和自由舞蹈，引導身體、心靈、思想和靈魂進行積極的對話。[2]
這種練習融合了身體心理學、正念傳統、創傷知情引導以及其他意識舞蹈方法，例如 5節奏 和 Soul Motion。它強調身體不僅是一個概念，更是一種鮮活的體驗。
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.
