“Self-knowledge is not an end in itself; it is an opening wedge to the inexhaustible.”

Krishamurti 

 

I propose two different kinds of work within the frame of a workshop.

I. Dance workshops centered in improvisation & instant composition are focused on
– the physical training aimed at deepening of the technique of improvisation in a conscious way
– sharing the necessary tools to compose dances instantly
– opening the compositional mind that can “see and read” the material that is being made, its specifics and texture, its poetry
The work´s goal is to cultivate the availability of the body to make dance right here knowing and acknowledging one´s body and self, tendencies and preferences, but also the less known territories.

II. Body-oriented personal growth workshops

The workshops are focused introspectively, in the direction of deepening the individual self-knowledge and self-awareness. The work is oriented towards rekindling the connection with one`s own body as an essential source of information while taking care of emotions, thoughts and images. The participant is guided in a safe space through her/his self-explorative experiential process on basis of simple movement propositions.
Time is spent with guided imaginations that lead into movement making and the experience of own body. The participant is supported to get closer to her/his personal meanings emerging from their movement and integrating them in the context of the actual emotions, thoughts or images.
One´s own movement experience is brought to self-reflection in words or drawings in order to allow new discoveries to take place.
The workshop takes place in a group context.
Previous dance experience is not required.
People with serious interest in this work, women and men of different ages and professional backgrounds are welcome.
