BMC® – Architectural Interaction

THE INNER ARCHITECTURE

 During a 4-days workshop,  Dr. Adriana Almeida Pees will introduce the origins and interactions of embryological movement and its influence on the relationship with the body systems based on the Body-Mind Centering® method (BMC).

We will grasp the inner architecture of our body regarding to dimension, quality, relationships and interdependence with embryology. We will explore systems of fluids, organs and tissues and gain a deeper understanding about reciprocal influences between the whole and their parts. This interaction on the level of our inner architecture supports us in our creative work as well as our personal development.          

Each  day we will  focus on an distinct aspect of certain body system through  experencial anatomy, hands on and movement sequence. Awacking the memory of our tissue  to increase our  understanding and embodiment of the potencialitty of where do we put our atention to initiate movement and reppartening our way to move.

During this explorative and playful workshop we will adress different qualities of movement and  state of mind through specific BMC (R) principles. It will be used  anatomical images and tools  to bring awareness of our body system, in order to reorganize the intention and action of the movement through the space as well our own Architectural Interaction.

• Day 1: Embriological aspect of the fluid:  Autonomic rythymFocus on  the three early germinative layers: ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm and how this  can influence our body tone.
•  Day 2: Embriological aspect of the nervous system: Central and Peripheral nervous system.
• Day 3: Embriological aspect of the endoderm: support of the digestive system to move and  his relationship to the nervous system.
•  Day 4: Embriological aspect of the mesoderm: support of the connective tissue in relation to our architetural interacion.
