Description
The body carries its own intelligence of fluidity — an innate capacity to move, adapt, renew, and remain in relationship. Inspired by the principles of Body-Mind Centering® and archaic movement patterns, we explore deeper layers of bodily perception and investigate how movement emerges from within. Through guided movement explorations, we engage different body systems and refine our awareness of sensations, impulses, and inner processes. We investigate qualities such as flow and support, stillness and action, flexibility and stability, discovering how they shape the way we move, perceive, and relate to ourselves, others, and our surroundings. The body becomes a space of listening and transformation, where pulsation, vibration, unfolding, and rest create the conditions for change and regeneration. Fluid Intelligence invites us to experience movement as embodied knowledge. Dance and somatic practice open a permeable space for presence, resonance, and connection. Through a rhythmic interplay of perception and expression, the body reveals itself as both a material reality and a living potential.
Accessibility, Content Note & Sensory Stimulations
The workshop will be held in German and/or English and body language. There will be partner work, but touch is never mandatory. If participants are comfortable with touch, exercises on different qualities of touch, body connections and movement impulses will be part of the work. Ka works in this workshop with clear personal responsibility and mindful self-awareness and awareness of others. At the heart of her practice lies the profound vulnerability inherent in Improvisation. Nurturing the nuanced skills and tender art of embracing and honor this vulnerability in ourselves and others breathes vitality into a movement journey that is both powerful and transformative. The physical intensity of the exercises, movements and dances can be adapted individually by the participants. 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. For questions or further information, please contact Zoé Duflot at workshop@tanzfabrik-berlin.de.
