蹈場夏天研習室：身心覺知療癒班 ( Joseph Ngan )

About the show

Your body knows you better than you do. Many people push themselves into intense exercise in pursuit of health and fitness, yet may overlook proper body alignment, causing "compensation" — using the wrong muscles or adopting incorrect postures. Over time, this can lead to injuries; for example, insufficient arch support may result in knee and lumbar strain or plantar fasciitis. The "Mind-Body Awareness Healing Class" focuses on the arch of the foot, guiding participants to rediscover the lower limb structure and correct use of the arch, learning how to restore natural, balanced body alignment. When the body returns to its proper position, movements become easier and more efficient — exercise is no longer just about expending energy, but a process of nourishing body and mind and enjoying life. Organised by Breakthrough Interdisciplinary Creation Lab (小息跨媒介創作室) as part of the "Dance Field Summer Workshop Series," this class is led by Joseph Ngan (Joseph Ngan). Joseph moves between theatre and daily life; since studying Somatics with teacher Aaron in 2012, he has discovered how nuanced the use of the body can be. He hopes, through modest efforts, to help more people understand and use their bodies well. Each session lasts 1 hour and 30 minutes, conducted in Cantonese, and is suitable for participants aged 12 and above.
