Held - A Home for Movement, Creative Practice and Well Being

Held - A Home for Movement, Creative Practice and Well Being Gentle, imaginative & transformative explorations in movement informed by Skinner Releasing Technique.

Based in Berkshire, Hampshire & Oxfordshire and sometimes further afield 🌿 I came to Skinner Releasing Technique and other creative & somatic practices 25 years ago, they have become a foundation for my personal creative practice, my navigation of my own health challenges and my work in the arts in health. Recently I have been fortunate to receive support from the Arts Council England 'Developing Your Creative Practice' fund which has enabled me to undertake Skinner Releasing Technique Teacher Training over a period of two years in Glasgow, UK.

'Held' is a base from which I will share my ongoing creative practice and offerings of classes and workshops informed by Skinner Releasing Technique. This work is intended to inclusively support those in my community regardless of age, ability or previous movement experience. These practices have helped me connect with alignment, aliveness and ease in movement. They have been a source of recovery and well being in my own life and that inspires me to share them more widely. I believe such practices can offer a gentle yet powerful way for people to discover creativity, freedom of movement and a fuller sense of vitality.

I just wanted to share this podcast where Stephanie Skura speaks about her creative practice and her work with scores. I was fortunate enough to take class with Stephanie on a number of occasions, in Seattle and in Europe, she is such an inspiring, intelligent and experimental choreographer performer and teacher and I am deeply grateful for her influence. She offers classes, deeper dives and teacher training in Open Source Forms deeply rooted in and expanded from Skinner Releasing Technique, she also offers sessions online. For me it is just so lovely to hear her voice:

As the season turns to autumn 🍂 I've been reflecting on what a rich and varied summer of movement it has been. One highlight was 'Moving Landscapes' with Skinner Releasing Technique Leeds - exploring and expanding the work both in the studio at Otley Courthouse and in the beautiful landscapes surrounding it.

The experience was deeply supportive for my own process and connection to the land through movement. It was also wonderful to share this journey with fellow practitioners and others from my teacher trainee cohort. Grateful to all who made it possible ✨
