The Journey II
To bloom, to pause, to listen within
What you will explore
In this instance, I will guide you through the Awareness Through Movement® lessons and sensory-motor skills, enabling you to explore the diverse qualities of movement.
Internal Space: From the skin inward, personal space refers to the individual’s bubble of comfort. Total space encompasses the floor, walls, and surrounding environment. The exploration of various directions and paths within these spaces is a fundamental aspect of human interaction.
Exploring different dynamics with yourself, in couples, threesomes, foursomes, and all together.
Evoking reproductive images and allowing new images and ideas develop as a result of the explorations enriches the meaning of the dancer’s intention.
Two modalities integrated into one format My beloved Teachers
Feldenkrais® Method
Moshé Feldenkrais
Dr Moshe Feldenkrais developed the Feldenkrais® Method of somatic education.A chronic knee injury prompted him to apply his knowledge of physics, body mechanics, neurology, learning theory and psychology to a new understanding of human function and maturation. His investigations resulted in the formulation of a unique synthesis of science and aesthetics, known as the Feldenkrais Method®”
For dancers, the Feldenkrais Method refines movement by increasing body awareness, improving coordination and efficiency, and opening new possibilities for expression with less effort and strain.

Patricia Meets Moshé Feldenkrais;
"It was in those years, in between 1948 and 1950, that I also met Moshe Feldenkrais. At the beginning of his later career, his work was widely disseminated throughout the world through his courses, books, and disciples. It gave me the key to find my way to solve the problem about the result of the copy of the external model, from which I could find my own "model".
Would you like to move and dance with ease and grace?
This workshop is for those wishing to improve their vocabulary when dancing and those willing to explore their bodies from novel and more multifaceted directions.
The Expresive-Dance workshops are lovingly and carefully birthed over many years of research and practice in the somatic and creative world.
As a Body Expression Dance teacher, Feldenkrais Practitioner and long term committed dancer of the 5 Rhythms and Authentic Movement. I have integrated the principles and strategies to provide an environment for exploring and connecting with the body. Creativity, communication, space, rhythm and quality of movement are weaved together toward cohesion and ease.
Moving from the Inside Out, part of my journey.
I always was looking to express myself, interact with the world around me, build relationships, and feel I belong. But for me, it wasn't an easy task, expressing myself through talking wasn't given easily. So I found a way to grow and develop myself through movement. The Body Expression-Dance practice was my ground wire and salvation since I was a child.
Expressing my thoughts and feelings through my own dance, was and continues to be a beautiful and healing journey.
“EVERYBODY CAN DANCE” was Patricia Stokoe’s motto. Moving from the Inside Out, knowing your body (your instrument) and letting your emotions and feelings arise and manifest through these connections.
This project is my golden dream, and I am honoured to be your teacher. I look forward to seeing this dream come true, grow, and develop with you.
