SEATTLE OPEN WORKSHOP, LIVE in 2023
With STEPHANIE SKURA
July 3 - 7 , 2023
Monday – Friday, 10:30 AM – 1:30 PM
19th Ave & Roy, Capitol Hill, Seattle
Due to unforeseen circumstances, we've postponed til 2024 beginning a new OSF Teacher Training group. And changed our 4-week in-person Open Workshop to a one-week, facilitated by OSF creator Stephanie Skura. All are welcome -- whether new to the practice or experienced. We'll navigate Introductory level work, with options for more experienced people -- and lots of juicy improvisational processes, refined by Skura over three decades of teaching & choreographic practice, and refreshed continually with new ideas & experiments.
A key aspect is individual creative empowerment as an instigator of positive change on the planet. Many are amazed at the seemingly ego-less dancing of OSF practitioners.
Places are still open. Join us!

Facilitators: Stephanie Skura & Nate Dryden
Join us! If you have at least two weeks' experience with Open Source Forms or Skinner Releasing, we invite you to join current OSF Teacher Trainees for five daily sessions, encompassing material offered during the third week of OSF programs.
The rarely-taught material of WEEK 3 -- elegant, intricate and absorbing -- offers a bridge toward the highly sophisticated, deeply nourishing world of Advanced Practice. Images are more sophisticated. We are ready to spend more time in deep processing mode, and more deeply within our own psyches. We find new effective alignment awarenesses and methods for opening our voices. Energy moves in spirals. Many concepts are integrated, and we discover the web-like connections within ourselves, with each other, & with the world. As awareness expands both inward and outward, we discover more avenues for healing, a calming sense of compassionate connection, and ready pathways toward presence & suppleness that extend into our lives beyond the studio.
During what often feels like an increasingly stressful world swirling around us, we Open Sourcerors find ourselves continually more grateful to have the valuable resource of this practice in our lives.
