Description
This workshop will be a somatic approach to our teaching practice “Vibrant Body” with an analytical and sensorial focus. The aim will be to offer tools that can allow the participants to gain a deeper understanding of their body’s functionality — its anatomy, layers and mobility. Building on this we can learn about the endless possibilities to direct movement through our bodies and create sensation that can induce and stimulate pleasure, ecstasy, trance states and emotional release. Throughout we will acknowledge and utilize external and internal circumstances and influences that have direct or indirect effects on our movement. The workshop will lead to a place where we can embark on individual and collective sensorial movement journeys that aim to empower and celebrate each participant as part of the collective making the visual experience of movement peripheral.
Accessibility, Content Note & Sensory Stimulations
The workshop will occasionally feature loud music with strong bass. Participants may also engage in direct physical contact with one another, always preceded by mutual consent. The workshop will be conducted in English, and prior movement experience is required. Information about our location & studio access in Kreuzberg, which unfortunately are not wheelchair accessible, can be found on our website. We offer a solidarity discount (workshop spots at a reduced price) for people living in financially precarious situations, including people from crisis areas, BIPoC, trans*, queer and disabled people.
