The Barre by ADF | Ep 3: The Living Body. An Introduction to Somatic and Creative Practices.

Welcome to Episode 3 of The Barre by ADF, hosted by Ymá De Almeida! In this deeply inspiring episode, we sit down with special guest Thomas Kampe to explore The Living Body: An Introduction to Somatic and Creative Practices. We dive into how somatic practices and the Feldenkrais Method serve as a holistic, educational approach to movement focused on self-sensing and body awareness as a pathway into creativity. Thomas shares invaluable insights on how dancers can take better care of themselves and their rest periods, fine-tune and regulate their bodies, and connect organically with the world through eco-somatics. From transforming how students perceive themselves to approaching movement as a worldly spiritual practice of hope, empathy, care, and questioning, this conversation proves that somatic awareness truly transforms how we inhabit our bodies and the world. If you believe in the power of dance to change lives, this episode is for you. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this conversation with someone who needs to hear it!
