CAMILLE MAURINE has been teaching movement, meditation, and dance yoga since 1975. She is the creator of Moving Theater and the director of CoMMiT (Camille Maurine's Moving Theater). Camille's sola performances include Tiger, Tiger, Losing It, In the Meantime, and Plexus: LA. She has been creatively involved with Continuum for over 20 years, and in 2003 directed Emilie Conrad in a new performance piece, Anima/Animus. Camille teaches at the Continuum Studio in Santa Monica, California, offering private sessions, workshops for women, and Moving Theater performance classes for men and women. See below for details. Camille also travels to give performances and workshops.
Camille's work, called kinAesthetics, focusses on the aesthetics of experience, accessing the richness of inner and outer life through heightened body awareness, movement and meditative states. Her Moving Theater workshops bring those revelations into creative expression through a unique performance mode involving movement, sound, and speech. Marrying energy sensing with poetic, artistic perception, this process is deeply informative and integrating for body and soul.
Our bodies and psyches are rich with stories aching to be told, life force waiting to be released into vitality and creativity. MOVING THEATER classes are a safe, invigorating environment to delve into your inner world and to dare fuller outer expression. You will work with imagery arising from body meditations, life stories, dreams, and fantasy. Through movement, theater improv, breath and voicework, you will strengthen your ability to be present, open perception and liberate energy, and give artistic form to your imagination.
All levels of experience are welcome and can benefit from this work. It is an especially powerful tool for PERFORMERS, ARTISTS, WRITERS and anyone else who wants to free up and flesh out your creative expression.
"Camille Maurine is pure, unadulterated magic in motion. She leads you with movement, vocalizing and writing into the back roads of your psyche and along the way you find delightful pieces of your SELF you never realized existed. Moving Theater is a step into a new realm: it's a trip!" -Sand Brim, Gallery Owner and Activist

For Women
JUICY ROOTS
WITH CAMILLE MAURINE
As women, we realize that our authentic contribution to life arises out of our deep feminine nature. We suspect that unless we are rooted in that fertile inner ground, and in our connection to each other, we will succumb to resignation and despair.
Within you is a wellspring of creativity, vitality, and inspiration - the forces of love and life flowing through us at all times. Your body and psyche are brimming with creative impulses waiting to be expressed. You are a unique instrument, with artful perceptions and responses to life that are particular to you. This workshop is about fine-tuning your instrument, hearing your inner music and letting your spirit sing out. It's about mobilizing your mojo, blessing the world with your feminine power.
Camille will offer liberating meditative and expressive practices from the Moving Theater process and Meditation Secrets for Women, including her dance yoga warmup. We will ride the creative rhythm between inner tuning and outer expression. Through sensuous movement, theater improv, writing, drawing, voicing, and other imaginative meanderings, we will excavate the world within and bring those revelations into form. With infinite tenderness and joyous celebration, we will witness the unique gifts that each woman brings forth.
LOCATION: Continuum Studio at the 18th Streets Arts Center, just north of Olympic in Santa Monica, CA
Eight weeks - Wednesdays from 1 to 4 PM (CONTACT CAMILLE FOR NEXT SERIES.)
This is a time to remember, refresh, and rededicate yourself to your sensuous inner flow. It's about plumbing new depths, going to the next level, opening up and letting more love gush through. This is a place to spread out, to give yourself space, to breathe in a nourishing and supportive atmosphere. It's a sanctuary for deep listening, for allowing life to speak to you and through you. It's a community of women gestating and birthing the quality of life we desire.

Camille has been developing the breath, blood and bones of Moving Theater since the early 80's, bringing in new inspirations as they occur. These energy practices, expressive modalities, and perceptual experiments build a powerful foundation for your performance, whether in the art of your life or a specific project.
In these trainings, you learn to refine the skills of attention and presence. This in turn allows you to LET GO more in both directions, inner awareness and outer expression. To open and deepen perception, we cultivate subtle energy awareness - the "dreamingbody" as well as the physical and emotional bodies (just to use words for our seamless whole being) - through movement, sound, and breath experiments. Then we bring impressions and images from that inner connection out into creative expression through intuitive writing and various kinds of stage work. Participants experience liberation of personal material, exaltation of interacting with others in new, honest, creative ways, and inspiration arising from body-centered meditations, stories, dreams, and fantasy.
MOVING THEATER Advanced Class
The Sunday night advanced group has been working together for some time in an intensive creative process, occasionally performing as in the ensemble, CoMMiT - Camille Maurine's Moving Theater. Periodically, participation in this class is opened to experienced Moving Theater students (or the equivalent, by interview). Classes are taught by Camille and held at the Continuum Studio, Santa Monica, California.
PRIVATE CLASSES
Private sessions with Camille are available by appointment. These body-based explorations are tuned to your individual needs and desires, addressing any level of movement in your life, particularly effective during times of transition. We sit together, talk, and investigate how your energy is wanting to unfold, always listening to the messages from your body and psyche. Sessions can include customized meditation, subtle and expressive movement, breathwork, voiceplay, and other forms of creative embodiment. Contact Camille at: cm@camillemaurine.com
