Pure Movement The benefits of your classes are never temporary—they never get washed away by life. Instead, each class plants a powerful seed of personal growth that stays forever. I now have an entire forest!
-- Alok Narayana Thank
You for such an uplifting, empowering and energizing session this
morning. WOW!! I have already told three new people about your web-site
and classes.
----Michelle Baxter Through my work with Fanchon Shur, I have achieved a greater sense of freedom, mobility and expression than ever before. On a physical level, I am more comfortable within and connected to my body -- there is a seamless integration of my body within the context of my self, my existence and my world.
--- Renea Frey You inspire...... transform.
---Tina Guitierrez I
cannot begin to describe what Fanchon’s classes are all about. Suffice
it to say I do believe she saved my life and continues to enrich it.
---Kathy Rook Fanchon integrates so much
knowledge and wisdom about so many things! Yoga, Feldenkrais, Laban,
modern dance, Spirituality, Jewish history, anatomy, Body-Mind
Centering, music, instinctual prayer, poetry, breath work, softening,
art of improvisation and choreography. “The sacred order of
relationships”. Rich emotion and release. Nuggets of wisdom for
everyday life. She is a Cincinnati treasure!
---Gloria Esenwein
Meaning in Motion: Laban/Bartenieff Life is full of dreams and expectations. We make plans for
tomorrow of things we desire to do today, but ultimately, our lives
turn into waiting games of "if only's" and "after I's" and the like.
The humor of it all is that the ability to fulfill all of our hopes,
dreams and desires has always been with us since our unified existence
in our mother's womb as a squirmy orb of potential. We have merely
spent our lives denying our life given power and trying to convince
ourselves or self-actualization through others. This is simply not
true. All of our energy lies within our being and it takes fundamental
Laban/Bartenieff training to "polish the dinnerware" so we can dine on
the meal of bountiful awareness.
---Chad Benjamin Potter After
merely dipping my big toe into Laban, I feel I have awakened an inner
stability that is inside us all and have started to learn from myself
in connection with the instructor. Laban has given me a delicious taste
of the purest and most powerful movement there is: movement that comes
from the core. The most altering thing I have begun to apply
has been the core-distal connectivity. As a result of realizing
movement possibilities as well as helping me to commit fully to my
movements; however, it is very challenging to keep this connection
while dancing, but has changed my entire perspective on how to dance. In
a class setting, Laban places every living creature in an equal
atmosphere. Judgment is replaced by understanding, thus the entire
class is constantly connected. The class helped to define inner an
outer motivation in movement as well as personal and community
intention.
---Lindsey Jones Moving From the Soul There, through breathing/moving meditations I have discovered an
ingenuous connection with the energies of my soul. On this physical,
non-verbal level, I have experienced memories lodged in my muscles,
dreams that move my sinews, images rising and shaping.
Each
time, I attend (class), I grow in health, in the conviction that there
are realms of imagination that movement can access so directly. In the
class, we are a community of souls who speak so seldom, but who share a
created space. A direct revelation of who we are, who we hope to be
and a chance to nurture that choice in each other.
