Description of the workshop on April 1st, 2017
Andrew Greenwood
I want to invite you to our Professional Development introductory workshop to Switch2move approach in “Moving Towards Global Health” held by Andrew Greenwood.
You will be introduced to the movement platform created by Andrew Greenwood that marries movement, art, and science with the aim to enhance health and wellbeing. The program is the basis of further education on specific modules for movement programs for individuals with movement pathologies.
Open to dance educators and movement practitioners who want a comprehensive overview in the field of dance and creative wellness.
The introductory workshop will provide the participants with information, tools and instructions in how to enhance their practices by unifying physical, psychological and social factors through movement through a method developed by Andrew Greenwood.

“The Power of the Imaginary – scientific foundations”
Clare Guss-West BHum MA (CH)
Imagination Unites – Ability Divides. Everyone can imagine – what ever our physical challenges. Using imagery facilitates movement and enables an inclusive practice. As teaching artists we know this instinctively, but what’s really going on physiologically and neurologically? Recent research and ancient TCM both concur that an imaginary focus enhances performance at any skills level – beginner, professional, senior, through injury, stroke rehabilitation and other pathologies. An imaginary focus provokes immediate physiological benefits and promotes the global well being of the dancer.
Description of the workshop on April 1st, 2017
The dance group from the class “Improvisation for Everybody” gives insights in their work with a 15-minute dance demonstration. Afterwards the workshop attendees will learn the principles of how we work together (mindful togetherness, everybody recognizes and watches for their personal limits, body contact). Then they will practically experience how the previously shown improvisations came about, based on very simple tasks. Improvisation will take place in pairs and in the whole group.
Tanzhologie® and its influence on the body image of patients with eating disorders
In many ways, dance has a positive and health-promoting influence on people. For that, every style of dance has its own special points of emphasis and trains very specific movement qualities. Tanzhologie® picks up on aspects of a multitde of branches of dance while aiming at general promotion of health and personal development of the individuals. Tanzhologie makes these aspects available to the needs of amateurs. It is comprised of 10 set building blocks of training which include not only exercises that are specifically set but also free creation of movement in improvisations. At the same time, in every unit of this training the range is spanned from active dancing all the way to relaxation and mental training.
The workshop demonstrates in a nutshell an example of a Tanzhologie training what was given during 7 weeks in 2011 to a small group of patients with eating disorders in a psychosomatic specialist clinic in Bad Kreuznach. It shows limitations and benefits patients experienced during dance lessons and gives an option, about the positive influence a holistic dance setting could have on the body image in a long term sense.
The participants are requested to appear in training clothes.
Corinna Janson is a naturopath (Heilpraktikerin) and a dance teacher who devotes her professional activities primarily to the question of how far dance can contribute to maintaining people’s health. On the basis of her studies with Dr. Detlef Kappert, she developed the training concept of Tanzhologie® . It served as a basis in 2011 for her final project about „Influence of dance training on the body image of patients with eating disorders“ for her Zam. Certificate in Dance Medicine. Currently she is studying Dance Science at the University of Berne (Switzerland) in the MAS degree program.
Claudia Neumayer
Physiotherapist, dance instructor
Working as a physiotherapist in a neurological rehabilitation clinic and being an amateur ballroom and Argentine tango dancer, she discovered in 2002 that neurological patients (e. g. after a stroke, with Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis) often can dance better than walk. Music and rhythm make their movements easier.
Funded by the clinic, she trained to be a dance instructor from 2004 till 2007. From 2005 on she offered daily dancing classes at the clinic for adults as well as the children’s hospital.
After taking part in a four-week community dance project with the choreographer Royston Maldoom (known from the movie “Rhythm is it”) she changed her (dance) direction.
She participated in many different dance classes, projects and workshops in community dance (among others with Volker Eisenach, Jo Parks and Janice Parker) as well as dance improvisation in bodily diversity (among others with Bernhard Richarz, Adam Benjamin and Alito Alessi).
In the summer of 2014 she finished her Dance Abililty Teacher Certification Class with Alito Alessi in Italy and now she offers in the urban space of Berlin what she likes best: Improvisation for everybody (people with and without impairment).
