On Making Our Body Matter
“Upon realizing the materiality of my body, my soul can relax into it, making the walls -- the bones, facia, muscles, the spaces in between -- no longer the prison, the tight and moldy grounding place as in go-to-you-room-you-are-grounded-type-of-thing, but rather, the cushioned armchair in which the soul can dance while breathing in the rich and soft aroma of the fabric; rejoicing upon finding comfort in the matter.”
From “Making OurSelves Matter: A Meditation on the Sacred Materiality of the Mundane Body” by Liza Futerman
Liza has facilitated many improvisation classes over the years. Watch this video for a feel of her work.
