EMBODYWORK
We are made to move.
EMBODYWORK is a one-on-one, body-centered practice grounded in the understanding that movement is not optional. It is a fundamental biological requirement — as essential as food, water, mindfulness and rest.
The human body evolved in constant, varied motion: walking, carrying, squatting, reaching, climbing, resting on the ground, responding to terrain, weather, and community. Much of modern life has stripped this movement away. Chairs, cars, screens, and convenience have dramatically reduced the diversity and volume of movement our systems depend on — and the body responds accordingly.
Pain, stiffness, disregulation, fatigue, and many chronic patterns are not mysterious failures of the body. They are often predictable outcomes of a system that is under-moved. Movement is the body’s original baseline: the way life organizes itself through breath, rhythm, sensation, and action.
Each session is responsive rather than prescriptive. We may work with manual therapy, guided movement, balance and orientation exercises, breath, rhythm, or sensory exploration that support proprioception, vestibular function, and interoceptive awareness. The focus of EMBODYWORK is on restoring communication and capacity - supporting the ongoing Dance between our body and the world(s) we move through.
Meet Alex
Movement Artist | Educator | Facilitator | Founder of Experiments in Rhythm
Hi, I’m Alex Milewski. I started Experiments in Rhythm (EIR) to offer dancers, movers, and facilitators a different way of engaging with movement—one rooted in rhythm, curiosity, and embodied intelligence.
I’ve spent the last 25 years immersed in movement, exploring a vast range of practices: Breaking, House, Contemporary, Krump, Fighting Monkey, Animal Flow, Infinite Play, Tricking, Capoeira, and Yoga. Since 2009, I’ve worked professionally as a freestyle competitor, dance facilitator, studio owner, and performing artist—teaching and performing across 20+ countries worldwide.
My practice is shaped and inspired by pioneers such as Anna Halprin and Steve Paxton, whose groundbreaking work in postmodern dance and contact improv continues to influence my philosophy of dance as ritual, research, and community medicine. I also draw inspiration from modern teachers and peers including Jozef Frucek, Marlo Fisken, Mike Fitch, Kyle Fincham, Jessi Stensland, Archie Burnett, and Celia Grannum Perarnaud.
With this lineage and lived practice, I bring a fresh, integrative approach to dance—creating nourishing, accessible spaces for every body, regardless of background or skill level. My teaching blends dance, rhythm, play, and self-expression into movement journeys designed to reconnect us to body, intuition, and joy.
“Alex takes great care to make sure people are comfortable as they embark on their sometimes emotional journeys of self discovery through movement. No matter the age or ability, he's made it easy for people from various backgrounds to come together and share in vulnerability through his genuinely open, respectful, and light-hearted nature. ”
