Over four consecutive sessions, Somatic Acting Process® has travelled across the Atlantic through a bespoke one-to-one intensive with Eric Kupers — theatre and dance artist, educator, founder of Dandelion Dancetheater and Professor of Theatre and Dance at California State University, East Bay.
The sessions were organised around the three foundational SAP® steps: mapping presence, grounding attention, centering intention.
Within this container we focused on releasing: breath, spinal and peripheral articulation, the individual weight that moves us, physical-vocal expression body-to-body and body-to-space points of contact, sending and receiving from brain-heart-guts, muscle flow and radiation.
Thank you, Eric, for your openness, willingness and deep engagement with the work.
In Eric's words:
“This training with Christina is exactly what I've been looking for over many decades. I've witnessed actors with an inspiring physical and energetic embodiment that emanates palpably from their practice and have asked these performers and acting teachers how I can access that in myself. The answers and teaching I received always seemed too intellectual and thought-focused. But now I have been given an accessible, step-by-step, reliable, experiential pathway towards developing my own somatic acting practice and sharing what I discover with my performing arts students and collaborators.
This training helps me see possibilities beyond the artificial divides in contemporary dance, acting, singing, and other performing arts training modalities.”

A beautiful way to see SAP® opening further possibilities.
