The dissection course is run over three days based on feedback from previous learners. The dissection experience, while enriching and powerfully educational, is one that impacts your professional and private life long after the course is finished. John’s experience has led him to the opinion that three days is the ideal amount of time mixed with short breaks to allow for discussion and contemplation of this rich and unique educational event.
This seminar is open to all individuals with a keen interest in and a knowledge of human anatomy.
This rare and unique three day dissection course will involve the use of soft fixed cadavers using the Thiel embalming method. Our cadavers now exhibit a greater degree of flexibility and true colour retention compared to that of traditional formalin-fixed cadavers. Each day will involve a short presentation before moving into the dissection room where under the guidance of clinical anatomist John Sharkey and a team of experienced dissectors you will dissect a specific area. There will be plenty of time for questions and personal enquiry. This is a rare opportunity to explore the human form and our team of experienced tutors will do all we can to support you and make this a unique educational experience. We also hope to have an opportunity to investigate areas of participant’s own interest.
BioTensegrity- Genetics, Kinetics and Synergetics.
This three-day course will involve short presentations from John Sharkey and Joanne Avison. Following the short presentations learners will immediately begin the dissection having familiarised themselves with the local anatomy and topography. Biotensegrity will be our main theme in the course providing the foundation for our understanding of the continuity of the human form. A special focus will be around the subject of Embryological Origins; on a scale of softness to stiffness (of soft tissue) throughout our lives. Considering that we live and develop between conception and elder hood, as a tensioned network that relies on BioTensegrity organisation to grow and change and emerge differently, at any point in time; over time…. in a continuum.
Explore how movement and form, in BioTensegrity architecture, are exquisitely interrelated from conception and throughout life.
Expand your perception of our self-assembly and how humans as the architects become or respond to our loading history?
Question how does appropriate stiffness relate to tensional integrity and elasticity in motion; from the cradle to the grave?
Witness the tensional nature of the body while we discuss how we grow what we are looking at in the dissection; such as the heart, the limbs and viscera.
The workshop is delivered by Internationally respected authorities in bodywork therapy, John Sharkey, Ireland, Joanne Avison, UK and Willem Fourie, South Africa.
JOHN SHARKEY is a Clinical Anatomist (BACA), accredited exercise physiologist (BASES) and founder of European Neuromuscular Therapy. John is a founding member of the Biotensegrity Interest Group (B. I.G.) and provides unique Biotensegrity focused dissection courses to manual and movement therapists and other allied professionals in Dundee University, Scotland.

JOANNE AVISON a Structural Integrator (IASI) and an early graduate of Tom Myer’s KMI school (1999-2001). Joanne became a Certified Teacher of Kinesis, before designing the yoga teacher training programme. Her considerable experience in both movement and manual therapy inspired the school’s unique approach to yoga and anatomy.
Joanne is also a CMED Graduate (2004) and has studied extensively in human development as well as specialising in soft tissue and the links between archetypal behaviour and physiology. Her intensive studies include Human Dissection and movement research in Fascial Fitness with Robert Schleip.
WILLEM FOURIE is a registered physiotherapist with more than thirty years of clinical experience in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions.
This includes sports physiotherapy on provincial and international level, trauma rehabilitation in the mining industry, and general private practice.
