The Group Motion Workshop, developed by Manfred Fischbeck and Brigitta Herrmann in 1970, is an outgrowth of their work with Group Motion Multi Media Dance Theater. This acclaimed workshop has toured nationally and abroad, traveling through Germany, France, Argentina, Barbados and Japan, in addition to its regular Friday night slot at the Kumquat Dance Center in Philadelphia, PA. Led by Manfred, Brigitta, and those certified by the teachers training program, the workshop combines highly refined structures of improvisation, movement meditations, and contact dance with explorations of breath flow, sound, and movement qualities. These are used as ways to discover and experience the language of dance.

These structures reflect universal patterns of communication found in nature and the human psyche. They are incorporated into a workshop experience to encourage the exchange of human spirit and potential through dance and music. A group of outstanding musicians accompanies each workshop with live music styles ranging from world to jazz to neo-classical. The workshop creates a space that is safe and explorative, physical and spiritual, healing and energizing - a space for personal and collective journeying into creative growth and transformation.

All are welcome; no previous experience is required.
