Moving on Center School for Participatory Arts and Somatic Research is a unique and pioneering institution in the field of Somatics. MOC's training programs integrate multiple somatic systems with performing and healing arts toward social change. The school offers a unique opportunity to integrate the desire for personal growth with the development of meaningful professional skills applicable to fields such as performing arts, education, health and social change.

Through bridging the healing and performing arts for social change, our mission is to support, develop and inspire embodied community leaders, artists and activists and to model new educational values and perspectives.

FULL PROGRAM: The Participatory Arts and Somatic Research

The Participatory Arts and Somatic Research Certification Program is an intensive educational program dedicated to integrating performance expression and somatic research with application in the fields of health, education, social change and the arts. The program is separated into three separate modules, along with intensives and weekend workshops. The curriculum includes the study of somatics, body sciences, process arts and performance disciplines. Combining creative engagement and practical skills, Participatory Arts and Somatic Research studies are integrated through self-directed projects, group projects, and performances. This certification provides pre-requisites required for the professional Somatic Movement Therapy Training (SMTT) taught by MOC co-founder Martha Eddy.

The entire MOC training and full certification consists of three, month-long modules: Somatic Education, The Socially Conscious Body and the Improvisational Mind. Each module is produced individually. At this time the only available module is Somatic Education. MOC encourages students to attend the full program when available for deeper integration and understanding the material. Contact us for more information, or join our mailing list to keep up to date on our news and updates!
