M.V.M.T.

MVMT stands for multi-valent movement transits. It’s pronounced like “movement”. This one-on-one workshop is one hour-long, and open to you: whoever feels called to observe, experience, and align with your own visceral doings. With your way, and the ways you want to move.

I facilitate this workshop using a combination of somatic practices, thought recipes, and body-based scores (sometimes there’s homework — it’s nice!) to help you to tune in, rest, move, uncover, process, re-pattern, complete the stress cycle, and move into unknown territory if you feel up for it.

Mode: Online or in person

Pricing: MVMT is 90 EUR per session. Solidarity/low-income pricing is available, please ask me about it.

Languages spoken: English or French

Please write to me at marion.fr.storm.us (at) gmail.com to book your first session or talk more.

about me

I’ve been an embodied-knower-through-dancing for 34 years, having trained in somatic practices — systems that ask us to sense and make sense starting from the perspective of the thinking~intuitive~receptive~expressive body — for the last decade. I have experience facilitating and teaching movement workshops for all ages in a variety of contexts, and I hope to connect with you in the studio and beyond. I am in constant dialogue with many incredible artists, teachers, and embodied knowers, including (in 2023, recently) Mariana Viana through her BodyWeather practice, Jennifer Monson with iLanding scores, Connor Voss’ Feldenkrais class, Marielys Burgos’s BodyPortals work at Movement Research, Tyler Rai’s Art/Life Tamalpa sessions, and other techniques & transmissions that influence my own teaching practice.

Accessibility statement: All embodied histories, cosmologies of practice, communication styles, and comfort levels with movement are invited. Please reach out with any Disability and Accessibility questions in relation to the following offerings, including the possibility of live Captioning, working in other languages, and sliding scale fees. Welcome!

Co-facilitated in collaboration with Elae [Lynne DaSilva Johnson] & Cory Tamler in New York.
