•• WELCOME TO FIELD STUDIES ••

A weekly embodiment lab & deep listening practice
Autumn 2025: 10-week series
Wednesdays 6:45 PM - 8:45 PM, Metro Mont-Royal


Field Studies are weekly guided embodiment labs where you will explore how to tune your body as an instrument of resonance. A practice in deep listening, each session refines your receptivity and your attention to live sound, breath, impulse, and spatial awareness.

When we enter “The Field”, we work with the following pillars:
deep listening, curiosity, improvisation, imagery, play, tuning, witnessing, and ritual (*please read in more detail below).

Dance improvisation artist, Valerie Sabbah, will guide explorations of movement and stillness, where you will experiment both responding to and shaping the musical landscape that is being improvised in real-time by multi-instrumentalist and live improv artist Emma Anders.
Movement becomes both response and offering as you enter into a shared space of sonic-somatic research. What emerges is a collective composition - a living score of mutual resonance.


WHO IS THIS FOR

This container is for anyone searching to learn to land into and inhabit more fully the body and in becoming aligned and congruent as an expressive being. This container invites pathways to the innate artist within and a return to inner sovereignty as a lived, embodied experience. We are cultivating receptive capacity and trust in the body’s wisdom, to surrender to our own timing, truth, and expression as they emerge and are witnessed.
The aim is to learn how to work from where we are, as we are. To come to meet the information inside ourselves and connect to our inner impulse and music. To gain access to our entire aliveness, and to fully engage. To become fully resonant, and express ourselves freely and fully.

This is your opportunity to learn improvisational and compositional movement techniques. This research container invites intention, presence, care, and curiosity—honoring both the singular journey and the shared field.


🕕 SCHEDULE:

6:45 PM — Arrival & settling in (*door closes at 7:05 PM sharp so we can begin together)

PILLARS OF “THE FIELD”

1. DEEP LISTENING
Deep listening is the practice of being fully present and receptive to sound, silence, the environment, and one’s inner experience. It involves listening with the whole self . It is an active, intentional process that cultivates heightened awareness, empathy, and connection — both to others and to the self.

2. CURIOSITY
We approach each moment with curiosity, allowing questions, sensations, and impulses to guide our exploration.

3. IMPROVISATION
Improvisation is our core mode of research — structured through scores* or open exploration, it reveals what wants to emerge in the moment.
*Scores: A score is a structured improvisation—a set of poetic constraints or propositions that guide movement, sound, and attention. Scores create a shared framework for exploration, inviting participants to enter specific physical, spatial, or relational configurations that activate deep listening, imagination, and presence. These structures support the emergence of the inner artist and foster a sense of inner sovereignty by offering clear yet open-ended invitations for embodied research and co-creation.

4. IMAGERY
Imagery (Imagining and Visualizing). We engage the imagination as a tool for embodiment, allowing inner images and visualizations to inform movement and expression.

5. PLAY
Playfulness keeps us open and fluid, inviting experimentation, joy, and discovery without attachment to outcome.

6. TUNING
We tune — to ourselves, to each other, to the space — cultivating attunement and resonance as a foundation for presence.

7. WITNESSING
We practice witnessing with care, offering and receiving attention that is non-judgmental, spacious, and supportive.

8. RITUAL
Ritual (Journaling, Circle, Sharing, Opening and Closing): Ritual grounds the container, marking beginnings and endings, and weaving integration through shared reflection and intention.

•• BIENVENUE DANS « FIELD STUDIES » ••

Un laboratoire incarné et une pratique d’écoute profonde
Automne 2025: série de 10 semaines
Les mercredis de 18h45 à 20h45, métro Mont-Royal


Ces « Field Studies » hebdomadaires sont des laboratoires de mouvement guidé, où vous explorerez comment accorder votre corps comme un instrument de résonance. Une pratique d’écoute profonde, chaque séance affine votre réceptivité et votre attention au son vivant, à la respiration, à l’impulsion et à la conscience de l’espace.

Lorsque nous entrons dans « The Field », nous travaillons avec les piliers suivants :
l’écoute profonde, la curiosité, l’improvisation, l’imagerie, le jeu, l’accordage, le témoignage et le rituel (*lisez en détail ci-dessous).

Artiste en improvisation dansée, Valerie Sabbah guidera des explorations de mouvement et d’immobilité, où chacun·e sera amené·e à expérimenter à la fois la réponse et la co-création du paysage musical improvisé en temps réel par la multi-instrumentiste et artiste d’improvisation live Emma Anders.
Le mouvement devient à la fois réponse et offrande, dans un espace de recherche sonico-somatique partagé. Ce qui émerge est une composition collective – une partition vivante de résonance mutuelle.
