After the initial consultation, you will probably have a
session each week, usually lasting between one and a half to two hours. Sessions are generally in small groups as
group work is an essential part of the CE philosophy, providing an opportunity
for individuals to share solutions and learn from each other. Learning in a group provides a positive
learning environment, promotes interactivity and fun, and helps to motivate
each individual.
The group will carry out movement-based tasks of varying
complexity and difficulty, either standing, sitting or lying down, and the
conductor will ensure that each person is active and participates to the best
of their ability. They will guide you
towards finding a solution to carrying out a movement rather than carrying it
out for you. It is a partnership, with
the conductor passing to you the skills required to achieve tasks so that you
can perform them on your own. It is
sometimes said to be an apprenticeship in which skills are transferred and
available then for use as you require.
CE uses only simple but good quality, purpose designed furniture
and equipment.
