    Welcome to the next Feet 1st!

    Our monthly dance session for all ICMTA members,
    held by ICMTA members,
    on the first day of each month.

    October 1st at 7 pm BST

    Feet 1st with Anaïs Tamen (Open Floor)

    (11 am PDT / 2 pm EDT / 20:00 CET / 21:00 MSK / Oct 2nd 7 am NZDT)

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    TENDING OUR GRIEF

    “ For this next step into our autumnal interiority - for the northern hemisphere, and to create space within ourselves - as spring is tiggling Earth’ southern part, I invite you for a dedicated held time to honour what is soft, sore or sour, within yourself. A time to grieve and praise, to mourn and dance all the colours stirred and revealed.


    Within the hour frame of Feet-1st, we will gently embrace, touch and move with what is, in our individual and collective field, with emphasis on body-wisdom and presence, much more than storytelling."


    What to expect: moving with (and without) music, guided and free, some sounding, some writing maybe, some humour too.

    Anaïs will blend Open Floor movement practice with contemplative practices and authentic movement, to create a safe & brave explorative container, with gentleness, loving kindness and reverence.

    There will be an optional 30min space for debriefing and informal sharing afterward.

    What to prepare:

    • a big bowl of water,
    •  a small container with some salt (epsom salt can work too),
    • your journal or some paper
    • a pen

    ABOUT ANAÏS TAMEN

    Anaïs Tamen is an movement teacher, trained in Open Floor, a performer, a body-soul worker, and a poet, living in Alentejo, South Portugal.

    “I craft spaces dedicated to community care & well-being, and to individual growth into acceptance. In my research’s playground, my favourite questions are : how to dance with paradoxes and polarities, dive in the luminous cracks of our fertile darkness, and build bridges and rainbows between our parts, and between us? How to build community within ourselves and among each others? How to cultivate presence, connection and acceptance ?”.


    Anaïs’ work takes different forms, from dancing in nature, to blindfolded-journeys, individual accompaniment and on-going bi-monthly community dances. They have been holding space for grief rituals in movement for the last 3 years, and facilitating dance journeys since 2017.

    Anaïs has been working for the ICMTA since October 2023, mainly as the Marketing & Communications Officer.

    We all are holding others a lot. Feet 1st! is a space for us to be held by your feet and your tribe !

    Feet 1st! is a monthly gathering for ICMTA members : 1h of dance + 15-30 min to hang out together afterwards.

    Feet 1st!  takes place on the 1st day of each month, with a different timing each month to include different time zones.

    Feet 1st! is for teachers by teachers : any of us can hold a session, and we are all welcome to come to dance !

    Our annual rhythm includes :

    • 7 or 8 Feet 1st! sessions (ICMTA members only, sometimes we take holidays in summer ;) ) 
    • 4 "Turning of the Seasons" sessions - CPD events open to non-members with an entrance fee - held on the 1st March, 1st June, 1st September & 1st December.

    We would be happy to enjoy your gifts in one of the next Feet 1st sessions! If you feel the call, click here and fill in your name to an available date that suits you.
