The difference...
I came back to dance at the age of 40, exhausted from over a decade of serious depression, worn out from chronic joint and back and hip pain (to the point of investigating canes!), and heavier and less healthy than I had ever been in my life. Within 12 months of finding JOY in movement again, I was thinking more clearly, feeling happier, experiencing zero pain, and down by about 6 sizes in my clothes.
I sought out study that would teach me more than moves and poses. I wanted to learn about the neurological, biological, and psychological necessity and effectiveness of play and dance and movement experimentation. I’ve studied with some of the best and brightest thinkers and movers, and I bring all of that and my own life experiences to the room every time I teach.
MY BIO:
Christine Serfozo is a trauma-sensitive movement artist with a comprehensive knowledge of somatic psychology. She's studied many forms of dance, with a special focus on Butoh and Modern which, in conjunction with biomechanics, breath techniques, and body inclusion, are the foundation for her work. She's interested in developing choreographic processes that create cathartic release and emotional growth, as opposed to typical choreographed 'productions.' She develops her processes through experimentation with a communal group of movement artists, and they are accessible to any level of movement experience. Most recently, she developed a process that expresses, integrates, and transforms the human experience of grief. She's currently creating sequences that will foster the expression of sacred sensuality outside of an objectifying gaze. Her ultimate goal is to inspire deep body listening leading to the fundamental freedom that can only be found in the essential creativity of our very cells.
