The movement as the foundation of an embodied practice.
A compilation of more than 40 years of research into the body in movement.
By Daniel ProiettoIn collaboration with Know Nation
A perspective built through a lifetime devoted to movement
“As a dancer and choreographer, with a vast career across some of the great cultural emblems of dance, such as the Norwegian National Opera, the Paris Opera Ballet and Tanztheater Wuppertal, among others, I have gathered the fundamental principles that give life to the creation of movement from full awareness, in which body, mind and spirit come together to give rise to a fluid, organic and present movement.”

An experience between understanding and practice
Embodied Practices expands on the work begun in The Fundamentals of Movement. While the Fundamentals establish a philosophical and perceptual foundation for exploring movement, Embodied Practices offers practical pathways into embodied attention through various somatic traditions.
Together, these offerings form a continuum between understanding and practice: a journey to explore movement through perception, experience and the presence of the body.
You don't need prior experience in dance or a particular level of physical fitness.
Each practice is guided step by step so you can explore movement in your own space, at your own pace and as many times as you like.
The journey brings together principles and practices you can return to and explore over time, from any device. Lifetime access.
