traditional drawing often begins with subject or representation. somatic drawing begins with the body — pressure, breath, rhythm, and gesture — carried directly onto the page as process. one is not “better”, they inform and amplify each other.

artists, movers, researchers, and anyone working with body-based practice. you don’t need to identify as an “artist” to participate, but the practice is structured for people invested in inquiry — people who want to work inside form, discipline, and duration rather than performance or product.

after signup, you’ll receive a link to a private member page. classes are one hour, live, online. you’ll be guided through the core sequence—body, breath, movement, mark—using whatever materials you have on hand. the focus is on process and presence, not product. sessions are live only and unrecorded.

somatic drawing doesn’t replace other modes of making; it deepens them. painters use it to access gesture, dancers to register movement, writers to anchor attention. the practice offers a repeatable form that can be carried into other disciplines as a ground of relation, rhythm, and return.

the essentials are simple. a stack, a roll, a wall, a canvas— any paper using any tools that can register pressure and variation — graphite, charcoal, ink. the point isn’t polished materials but surfaces that can record gesture.
