ENGLISH VERSION:
What is QUANTUM MOVEMENT?





It makes you happy...!, 2009



"We are basically fluid beings that have arrived on land ... The fluid presence in our bodies is our fundamental environment; we are the moving water brought to land..."
Emilie Conrad






QUANTUM movement is probably best described as an experimental movement meditation, that opens up new potentials for the students.
We experiment with sound, breath, micro movements in relationship to gravity and discover our body and ourself as a fluid being.
We take inquiry in the pulsing, rippling, undulating, streaming quality of ourselves as an expression of water.
The whole person can come to rest, slow down and relate to time and space in a new way.
New possibilities and resources can be accessed on a physical, mental and spiritual level.
The work enhances awareness, sensitiveness and presence in space and in the world we live in.

QUANTUM movement can be many different things for different people:
Vision quest, resourcing, creative potential and a broader vision in a spiritual and mental field, or just relaxing.
The students develop a "cellular awareness" for themselves, the group and the world.
The work opens possibilities we hadn't even dreamt about.
It is an offer to move beyond the often times restrictive movements and thoughts that come with daily routine.

In these times of obvious global change, QUANTUM movement is also an offer to find the answers about our personal unfolding in the world within ourselves.


"The world of inner space is as exciting and daring as our journeys to other planets"
Emilie Conrad






I found my work with Ute incredibly helpful to my work as an athlete and performer.
The breathings that we learned and practiced worked in calming me and bringing me present into my body. I found that to use breath and sound together would connect and warm me from the inside out.
I became more aware of my body and the tensions within it and the emotions connected with different of these tensions.
This work gives tools for observing and remaining present with yourself and therefore is effecting change.
My short experience with Ute's work gave me tools to bring me back to me and to allow me to open myself and my body tissues in new ways.
