about the sessions
𝑫𝒚𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒄 𝑬𝒙𝒑𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏™ is an embodiment-based dance/movement practice. This approach invites participants to perceive and connect with the fluid body. By attuning oneself sensorially and physically to the flowing movement dynamics of the craniosacral system and its phenomena of stillness, a unique approach to movement research emerges.

The performance practice 𝑴𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝑪𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒎𝒂 deepens the perceptual connection to the visual field. It pursues a cinematic approach to movement, expanding tools for the performance of being seen. This session opens up a space of experience for deep connection, sensory refinement, and the discovery of new movement patterns. Participants will engage in guided movement meditations and improvised compositions inspired by the natural dynamics of water, as well as live cinematic observations. These explorations will take place in autonomous, non-contact partner and group formats.

who is this for
Multi-generational dance and movement-based performers, movers with interest in embodiment, post-injury movers, curious movers, bodyworkers... All levels of experience are welcome.
