Skinner Releasing Technique: a movement and dance practice
Creators: Manny Emslie
The Skinner Releasing Technique (SRT), created by Joan Skinner, is a somatic practice of movement, dance and creation whose fundamental principle is to release blocked energy, retained tension and habitual patterns of body and mind. It enables us to move with greater freedom and ease, while awakening creativity and spontaneity. The 21 authors of this book describe how SRT informs their own practice of movement and/or dance, and influences wider fields of practice such as meditation, architecture, poetic listening, visual art, writing, technology and choreography. For them, SRT is a transformative, lifelong practice that deepens connections with oneself, with others, with more-than-human life forms and with natural and urban landscapes. This book is for anyone drawn to the practices of body, mind, spirit, somatics, movement and dance, as well as for those exploring ways to live in the world creatively, empathetically and with greater ease and natural grace.
