We are pleased to welcome you to the Winter Movement Academy's GPS Movement System YouTube Channel for professionals, performers and community groups, both disabled and non-disabled, who are working creatively and physically with their bodies.
The GPS Movement System YouTube Channel is funded by the Arts Council of Wales, in partnership with The Melville Centre for the Arts, Abergavenny, Wales UK.
Follow our two new series of classes in the 12-week online GPS Movement System!
One series is designed for people who will remain in a sitting position throughout the classes. One series is for people who will undertake the classes on their feet or lying down.
Each series of inclusive classes has 12 sessions for performers, for community groups, for anybody who wants to become fit and for anybody who wants to develop their performing skills.
Every Monday morning, for twelve weeks, a new session will be uploaded for each of the two series.
This will take you on a 12 week physical journey.
The sessions will push your physical strength and develop your emotional connection and expressions. The weekly sessions will develop from a 16 minutes introduction to the system in Session 1, through an interesting and exciting artistic journey that will end in a 38 minutes highly physical and emotional Connection Session in week 12.
Every week the level will be developed with an additional 2 minutes per session; new skills will be introduced through the 12 weeks.
The GPS Movement System is based on physical movements created from your spine, which are sent through the body by focusing on the body's impulses of closing and opening and are boosted with melodramatic feelings – expressed as a physical mask, which is worn on your face, your shoulders, your bottom, your knees and your feet - all explored and connected through your spine.
By repeating the movements of the system, you will create an emotional spine release through the sessions, which will help you to recognize your own emotions and create pure and organic movements. Each YouTube Channel session will have an introduction by BSc (Hons) Physiotherapist, Joanna Keen MCSP. http://www.rehabphysio.co.uk/

Founder of the GPS M S BIOMECHANICS SYSTEM.
GPS M S BIOMECANIC SYSTEM is an emotional body memory system for dancers, actors and mime artists.
This system is suitable for any performer:
- Who creates their own material, or who is part of a group devising process.
- Who creates movements or longer choreographic sequences based on text.
- Who creates stories based on movements from their own experience and memories.
GPS M S BIOMESCANICS SYSTEM is based on physical movements created from the performer's spine, which are sent through the body, by focusing on the body's closing and opening impulses, and are boosted with melodramatic feelings - as a physical mask - put on the face, the shoulders, the bottom, the knees and the feet.
By repeating the 60 minutes GPS M S BIOMECANICS SYSTEM sessions a minimum of 3 times, the sessions will create an emotional spine release, which will help the performer to reconnect and clean their own emotions through the session. This will help the performer to recognise their own emotions and create clean and organic movements.
The GPS M S BIOMECHANICS SYSTEM has 3 faces:
Physical 60 minutes Body Cleaning & Strengthening Session.
In this 60 minutes movement session you will be working from standing up to laying down to standing up again.
Tapping, shaking and boosting your body with energy. A 60 minutes journey through the melodramatic feelings - explored and connected from your spine. This system will boost and clean your movements as a performer and connect your movements as an ensemble.
Your Personal Unique 99 Movements Alphabet.
From melodramatic feelings you will create 16 circles of movements, 9 personal movements and 6 connecting movements. These 99 movements will be your personal movements alphabet, created out of your own Movement DNA.
The Ensemble 100/100/100 Devising Tool.
If you work on a solo performance you will create your movements from the spine through your unique 99 movements alphabet and action movements. If you work as an ensemble - the 99 Movements Alphabet will connect you as an ensemble through the devising process of the ensemble's unique Movements DNA.
Through the 100/100/100 tool system it will be possible for the ensemble to create movements combined with text and voice. Movements based on a combination of plastic/ mechanic/ emotion.
