 Description 

This workshop explores various ways of preparing the body for movement. Improving proprioceptive abilities will be covered to improve stability and balance. Special attention will also be given to neuromuscular signals to promote better movement patterns. In addition, sensory awareness will be developed by training the body as a whole, rather than targeting individual parts.

By the end of this workshop, artists will have a better understanding of how to prepare their bodies for movement. Developing body awareness will also help them prevent injury and improve their postural stability, strength and flexibility.

This workshop is intended for circus artists.

Her background consists of a 15 year dance career, studies in biomechanics, and certifications in pilates, gyrotonics and masso-kinesitherapie, among other manual techniques. Joanna has a Masters in Biomechanics, McGill University and a B.F.A (Honours) in Dance from York University. She was one of the first practitioners to bring pilates teachings to Montreal back in 1990 before any studios were founded, and even introduced pilates to Cirque du Soleil for Allegria, Saltimabanco and Mystere. She is a licensed massage therapist (masso-kinesitherapie) and registered member of the FQM (Fédération Québécoise des Massothérapeutes). She has taught functional anatomy for dance teachers and yoga teacher trainers in Montreal since the early 2000’s at Concordia University, Ashtanga Yoga Montreal, Naada Yoga, Wanderlust and Zero-Gravité along with Ecole Supérieure Ballet du Québec, where she is a movement consultant. She also teaches therapeutic movement for young actors at the National Theatre School. In 2017 she finished the Naada Yoga Therapy program in Montreal, which is yet another tool she draws from in her private movement re-education practice. She has taught workshops and treated clients across Canada and throughout the US.
