About Fluentbody™
Theresa takes you on a soulful journey through Fluentbody™ , exploring the language, wisdom and power of our bodies. Using a combination of varying creative movements, rhythms and breathing techniques, we open the doors to physical and emotional sensations. From there, we investigate how to allow ourselves to be truly authentic -
to explore, to be, to breathe and to connect without the constraints of right or wrong.
Boundlessness
A Sound & Movement Workshop
Co-facilitated with Marcella Echeverri in September 2023 at Silence GuelphHow can we access a sense of boundlessness by combining sound and movement?
In early September 2023, we invited participants to explore improvisation through both modalities. The workshop included a series of guided exercises designed to awaken the senses and build trust in spontaneous expression. This gradually transitioned into an open-format sound-movement exploration.
Together, we asked: Where does sound end and movement begin? How do they influence and travel with one another? The space offered room for experimentation, connection, and the joy of creating in the moment.
Watercolour & Fluentbody™ Workshop
Co-facilitated with Greta Riondato in May 2023 at The CommonWe began the session with an introduction to both watercolour and the Fluentbody™ method. To open the space, participants created a collaborative painting, using intuitive movement as a way to introduce themselves.
We then danced together, allowing movement to guide us into deeper expression. This experience was later translated into individual watercolour paintings, using the painting process as a visual form of journaling. Throughout the workshop, we explored the relationship between fluidity, colour, and coincidence—connecting the essence of both practices. Participants painted their embodied experiences from the class, letting movement flow onto paper.
