« The shoulder girdle, mobility of the arms and freedom of the upper chest… «
Nürnberg (Germany) : August 31 – September 4, 2024
Teaching will be in English
Due to its light, fine and highly articulated structure, and its articulation with the spine at the level of the cervico-dorsal hinge (C7/D1), the shoulder girdle, as if suspended, allows great mobility of the arms in all directions of movement. The emergence of the neck and head from this cervical hinge ensures its rotation like a real periscope carrying the sense organs. It also contributes to the freedom of the upper part of the chest, allowing easier, more comfortable and functional respiratory development as well as an important relaxation of the throat…
Anatomical observation clearly shows us that the pelvis, due to its very dense and bony structure, has the function of ensuring our balance, the stability of our supports, the efficiency of our movements and the development of strength. The shoulder girdle, on the other hand, is made up of very light, fine and wonderfully articulated bones, and designed to allow us to express with great freedom our relationship to the world and to others, to act in a very fine and differentiated way, to use instruments and tools, to communicate, touch, feel and receive stimulation…
The numerous explorations offered will allow each participant to:
* Discover and better understand the different joints that animate the shoulder girdle, articulation between the head of the arm and the clavicle, between the clavicle and the sternum, between the neck and the dorsal thoracic spine (C7/D1), articulation between the first vertebrae dorsal…
* Develop real mobility of the scapula and its sliding on the ribs in all spatial directions, without which the arm cannot find its freedom of movement and the rib cage its functional engagement in respiratory development.
* Find relaxation in the shoulders and particularly in the different fibers of the “trapezius”, muscles on which many psychosomatic tensions linked to our way of living, our habits and acquired attitudes are fixed in the near past as in childhood.
* Free the sternum and regain its suspension, allowing it to play its role as a true “figurehead” for our travels…
* Find more elasticity in all these links between the head and the rib cage, many of which pass through the throat, the suspensors of the larynx, etc.

« A mobile Head, an alive, expressive and relaxed face… »
Zurich (Switzerland) : February 2 – 5, 2024
Teaching will be in English
By finding true verticality, human beings have considerably developed their field of observation and action.
The new balance of the head and its great freedom of movement have allowed a considerable development of the sensory functions and numerous mobilities of the face and the organs of the mouth which allow it a rich palette of expression.
We will continue to develop the fluidity and efficiency of head movements in all directions of space, allowing it to fully assume its role as a veritable periscope listening to the world, Through the face, the human being enters into a relationship with the surrounding world. He receives (through the senses) and gives, he expresses himself.
The facial expressions constitute a real affective commentary on the discourse, when they are not language themselves.They reveal the inner being or express the authentic reaction to an emotional situation.
We will rediscover the fluidity of the different movements of the face, ridding it of the grins and masks of habits linked to our history, of the deformations of a sometimes laborious articulation… so that it can express the subtle play of our emotions, to become the mirror of our deep dynamisms and the instrument of an authentic dialogue.All the tensions or limitations experienced in the face are projected onto the cervical spine, stiffening the neck and the carriage of the head.
