| EMILIE CONRAD CONTINUUM MOVEMENT: Gesture & Character Development Thurs, Sept 15, 4-6:30pm SIMONE'S CLASS IS FULL - SOLD OUT |
Explore how the inner process of Continuum discovery spills into the outer reaches of relationship.
Inspired by Emilie’s group performances by Continuum's Somatic Movement Theater in SOMA FEST
2007 and 2008, Continuum's process of creative discovery will be shared in this workshop. Starting
with a Continuum Dive, we will begin our group preparation and then shift our inner experience into an
outer world "play". The discovery of gesture will emerge into character expression.
Continuum is a revolutionary approach to a quantum re-mapping of the human body. Tissue structure
becomes multi-dimensional as streams of nourishment are readily absorbed as if one were bathing in
the elixir of life itself. Become adventurers in the unmapped territories of the human body.
Experience the scope of our humanity by entering into frequency realms that are not bound by time,
space or condition. Learn to move with profound restorative energies that enrich our consciousness
and nourish our souls.

CLASS DESCRIPTION:
BIOGRAPHY:
Emilie Conrad, founder and director of Continuum, is a visionary whose capacity for movement education,
dance, and physical fitness. Her most recent contribution is her structures as the cultural, primordial,
and cosmic anatomies. Emilie tells us: “becoming becoming a resource for health and creativity.” .
She has received awards for “Movement Teacher” of the year and for her work as a Somatics Pioneer.
Emilie Conrad was born and raised in New York City where she studied ballet and Afro-Haitian dance. Her
early influences were Sevilla Fort, Katherine Dunham, Robert Joffrey and Don Farnsworth.
Subsequently, she spent five years as a choreographer with a folklore company in Haiti furthering her
interest in Haitian dance.
Her love for movement inspired her to discover the essential, primary movements common to all life
forms that lie beneath cultural influence. These fundamental movements are a "cosmology" of life, where
form is fluidly mutable, dissolving and shaping itself anew.
In 1963 she moved to Los Angeles where she began teaching at the Actors Studio. Her novel approach to
movement enriched the performing artist and led to choreographing and directing many plays and
performance works. Her choreography has been seen at: the Japan America Theatre, John Anson Ford,
Wilshire Ebell Theatre, Theatre West, Pasadena Art Museum, Highways, UCLA, Actors Studio West. She
continues to develop the art of performance.
Emilie is the author of "Life on Land", recently published by North Atlantic Press. She
has been a featured teacher, lecturer, and Keynoter at: Sri Aurobindo Assoc. in America, American
Humanistic Psychology, UCLA, USC, UC Santa Cruz, UC Santa Barbara, U of San Jose, U of Arizona, Rolf
Institute, Esalen Institute, Newport Sports Clinic, Center for the Healing Arts, Open Center NYC,
Tarrytown Group, Omega Institute NY, Common Boundary, Naropa Institute, Kripalu Institute, Actors
Studio West, Lee Strassberg Institute. She has been on the advisory board of Kessler Institute for
Rehabilitation, Orange, NJ. and Bio-energy Field Foundation, Malibu, Ca. (Dr. Valerie Hunt). She has led
workshops throughout the US, Canada and Europe
