This intensive experience is designed to expand your physical and sensory awareness, embrace vulnerability, and dive into the art of dancing the unknown.
Open to participants of all levels, this workshop creates a supportive and adventurous space for exploration and self-discovery. You will be guided through a series of exercises, improvisations, and explorations that will challenge and inspire you.
Throughout the workshop, we will explore themes such as trust-building, risk-taking, and deepening connections. The approach, influenced by various somatic practices, blends technique and creativity to unlock your full expressive potential.
The exercises will be ranging from structured explorations to open-ended improvisations. By breaking down specific skills and techniques, we allow for focused practice and expansion of your movement vocabulary. Through playful experimentation and deep embodiment, you will discover new possibilities in movement and connection.
We will be immersed in an atmospheric soundscape carefully curated to enhance your journey. Long tracks, ambient melodies, and moments of structured silence will deepen your connection to the physical sensations and emotions that arise during the practice.
