Kurs with Chaim Gebber, Roberta Pupotto

Developed by the Brazilian choreographer Chaim Gebber, the Conscious Body System is a set of mental and physical exercises designed to improve body functionality through an improvisation system and combinations based on cross-lateral movements. They are elaborated to develop awareness and improve the individual and social body. The CBS teaches movers how to build up strength rather than saving it, and how to use that strength in a safe and healthy way. It guides movers to be precise and work consciously with their bodies and unique structures. We train the body to magnify basic skills of moving to and from the floor, until we are comfortable with fast weight transitions. This is done by shifting weight, in safe and the personal speeds (as fast as possible, as slower as needed).

Roberta Pupotto will teach this class from 11.04.2024.
