Educational Tools: SOMATIC COSTUMES ™

Somatic Costumes™ are education tools that bring awareness to different body areas as well as generate different movement qualities and experiences in the body-mind.  They serve as a playful resource for instigating new relationships between self, others and the environment.  They can be used by educators (facilitating movement, theatre, arts), therapists, performers, and anyone who wants to awaken their creative spirit.

We are delighted to offer one of our Somatic Costumes™ for purchase – ‘The Balloon Hat’.  This costume was created as part of the Somatic Movement & Costume Project – with costume designers Carolina Rieckhof and Sandra Arroniz Lacunza.  All proceeds from the sale of these costumes will be donated to Sally E. Dean Performing Arts Inc., a non-profit organization registered in the USA, and will be allocated to fund future Somatic Movement & Costume research and the creation of more Somatic Costumes™.  Other Somatic Costumes™ will be offered for purchase in the near future.  Stay tuned!
