Unleash the Beast
Your body holds infinite possibilities. It can be graceful, wild, slow, fierce. This practice is about stepping out of the familiar, into the body of something other than yourself. It’s a chance to move without thought, to sound without reason, to let go of control and simply be.
A Practice of Embodied Play
Find a space where you can move freely. Close your eyes for a moment. Pick an animal—any animal. A lion, a snake, a bird, a monkey. Let your body become it.
Now, become it. Move as it moves. Walk, crawl, slither, stomp. Let your hands, your spine, your face join in. Don’t just mimic—feel into it. How does it carry itself? How does it breathe?
Make the sounds. Roar, hiss, chirp, howl—let them rise up from deep within you. Don’t hold back.
Immerse yourself in the character—fully commit. Let instinct guide you, let play take over.
Notice what shifts when you stop taking yourself seriously. When movement is no longer about control, but about curiosity. When sound is no longer about meaning, but about feeling.
Stay with it as long as it feels alive. Then, when the time feels right, slow down. Come back to stillness. Feel the hum of energy left behind, the playfulness still rippling beneath your skin.
