Movement Aesthetics

For more than 20 years Frank has been researching on unconsciously initiated movement such as reflexes and the bodys immanent desire to move especially when music is played. “I explored countless approches to move, from dancing to therapy and I extracted what I believe were their essences. I have merged everything together to form a bigger picture where everything fits together.” He found out that there is something in us alive beyond our consciousness, which has it’s own will and character. He says, the more we let “it” take over our body, the more aestetics, complexity and ease will come into our movement. What he discovered, is a method to directly reconnect to our ancient inborn movement intelligence.

“There is an inborn wisdom in the body that creates beautiful movement naturally. We have to let go, so whatever movment wants to be done will be done. It’s something unfinished and yet complete. It is shapeless and formless. It depends on nothing but it gets active when we experience joy and listen to good music. I believe it is the origin of all movement.”

“It is hidden so deep that it seems not existing. You cannot touch the source, but you can travel closer to it. I believe it is the source of life. The more you use it, the more it produces. The key to growth is to let higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness. Therfore a leap of faith into the unknown is necessary.”

As a kid Frank Lee wanted to become a break dancer with an unique movement signature. The search for his own style became a exploration of consciousness and its relation to the body. In Berlin he studied movement from various perspectives, from Feldenkrais to contemporary dance and many more. He found out that true movement is not willingly done, it’s a happening.

In his contrasting life between artistic avant-garde of metropolitan nightlife and therapeutic work with, he succeeds time and again in the balancing act between seemingly opposing worlds. Frank Lee is part of international artistic collaboratives. He is one of the few people who have elaborated and can teach movement from both artistic and therapeutic perspectives.
