Rebecca Frances is a writer, bodyworker, and workshop and breathwork facilitator. She completed a languages degree from Cambridge University and uses her interest in variations of communication and the power of language to both shape and limit experience, as inspiration for her experimental physical practices. A masseuse working in Berlin, she explores hands-on philosophical and poetic approaches to soma. Sessions fuse massage, breathwork and hypnotic meditations. Group settings focus on individual agency, comfort in challenge, and undogmatic experimentation.
MOVE / DANCE & THEATER
THE BEAT
Using the simplicity of imagination, observation and listening this morning class introduces exercises to establish an unadulterated awakening for your Self, and a pure and unambiguous interconnectivity with others.
With the aim to bring you whole and real into the festival, Shadow and Rebecca combine forces for the second year running to launch you into the last dance. A transition from the individual into the communal, this slow, deep morning meditation uses emerging theory from neuroscience and psychology to inspire exercises of observation, interoception and exteroception that appreciate the aptitude to tune into our own bodily signals and to those of others. By strengthening the fundamental sense of body ownership and the related sense of agency, we endorse empathy, elucidate illusion, and eventually move together towards the common beat.
