Workshop SPIRAAL |Contemporary whirling | Valentina Lacmanovic

5 February | 13:00 – 20:00 | Early bird €85,-
Check: Facebook event

SPIRAAL is an original, contemporary approach to whirling movements. This approach was developed by Valentina Lacmanović, based on art, science research and practice.

Spiraling movement is at the core of our galaxy, our DNA, it is the force of nature in hurricanes and vortices. Spiraling patterns can be found in the shape of our fingerprint and the form of Time. It is a powerful instrument that leads towards harmonizing our physical, mental, emotional and energy bodies.

SPIRAAL workshop proposes an intensive work on sustained spiraling movement technique, disorientation, listening and body/mind (dis)connection. In a safe environment, participants travel through trance-like states and learn how to tap into the creative flow.

The build-up is inspired by techniques of breathing, internal martial arts and organic approach to body and mind motion. An introduction to ritualistic elements in contemporary performance is given through structured improvisations.

*Suitable for anyone engaged in corporal practice (dancers, performers, actors, martial arts or yoga practitioners… both amateurs and professionals). OPEN LEVEL!

Registration
Early Bird till 14th of January €85,-
Regular price after 14th of January €100,-
