How can we make a dance practice also a research practice? How do we become our own anatomists, somatic expert or experiential scientist? How do we move and train our bodies with increased agency? 

You can expect partner work, theory, solo practice, improvisation, movement patterns and the joy of dancing. Let’s roll, crawl, walk, jump, lift, hang, fly and fall together. 

This dance class sources methodologies and tools from the knowledge pool of the Axis Syllabus as well as integrates the various and different backgrounds of the individual teachers.

↪ Diana Thielen

Diana's teaching, improvising and choreographing activates political questions in bodies and spaces. They really like it when diverse bodies of knowledge influence each other and a creative mess emerges.They’re immersed in several communities in Berlin because moving, accountable and queer-feminist spaces matter to Diana: whether it’s their child's self-organized KiTa or a queer-feminist artist collective.

↪ Filippo Serra

Filippo is a martial artist, university master graduated sport scientist, former boy-scout, fitness and cross-training advocate and mildly excited opera performer. He loves to be a dancer when he finds good friends or tutors to dance with. He lifts and swings weights mainly alone. One of his remarkable qualities is his ability to infuse humor into any situation, even the most challenging ones. Driven by curiosity, Filippo constantly seeks to unravel the intricate connections that exist between his various movement practices and different aspects of life
