This workshop explores weight, rhythm and connection as ways of entering movement with awareness and curiosity. We begin by cleaning the floor, tuning our perception of the body while this shared task also brings us together. The hands become active, the center engages, the feet find the ground – and the dance has already begun. Breathing practices drawn from martial and meditative traditions, somatic exercises and proprioceptive work sharpen the body’s sense of rhythm, weight and support, complemented by elements of traditional Brazilian and Colombian dances. At the heart of all these practices is the question of what each exercise does to the body’s relationship with gravity. Through an anatomical approach, we explore questions such as: How can the breath settle deep into the body and organize the weight over the feet? How can the pelvis be both heavy and mobile at the same time? And how does an active center change what becomes possible for the rest of the body? Over the course of the workshop, we move into partner exercises, touch-based practices and movement games that develop listening, trust and responsiveness. Music is a constant presence as we work with groove and shared timing. Through improvisation, we move between structure and play, practicing how to coexist and keep going, while making room for curiosity, connection and pleasure. All exercises can be adapted to different bodies, needs and levels of experience.
