Soul Motion
「Soul Motion」是一種有意識的運動和舞蹈冥想練習，它通過引導式的即興運動來探索身體、關係意識和創造力。它強調臨在、好奇心以及與自我、他人和鮮活世界的聯結。
Soul Motion 通過課程、工作坊、靜修和專業培訓項目在國際上進行實踐，並以將動作即興創作與正念、關係探究和表達藝術相結合而聞名。
起源
Soul Motion 由 Vincent Martínez-Grieco 於 20 世紀 90 年代末至 21 世紀初創立。Martínez-Grieco 是一位舞蹈家、編舞家和動作教師，他的背景包括 Contact Improvisation、冥想練習和表現性動作。
這種實踐源於舞蹈即興創作、身體意識和關係探究的綜合，強調舞蹈既是個人探索，也是共享的、參與式的體驗。
核心原則
Soul Motion 基於以下幾項指導原則：
- 「臨在」——培養對當下感覺、衝動和選擇的覺察。
- 「關係」——探索與他人、空間和環境的關係。
- 「創造力」——重視即興發揮和真實表達，而非固定形式。
- 「整合」——連接內在體驗與外在行動。
Soul Motion 不注重表演或技巧，而是重視生活經驗和身體力行的聆聽。
練習
Soul Motion 課程包含由音樂、語言提示和空間感知引導的運動探索。課程沒有編排好的舞蹈；參與者可以跟隨感覺、好奇心和關係衝動自然而然地進行練習。
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.
