about the workshop

• We will dive into various techniques from the fields of Movement, Mobility, Soft Acrobatics, Partner Work, Improvisation and Somatics,​

• work on our fascia and body & mind

• Learn basic Soft Acrobatic moves, from Inversions to Rolling,​

• and find patterns that strenghten and soften your body

​

Mobility & Movement

For me, Mobility Training is fundamental training. Without a foundation, we can not build up, improve, heal, understand... In our general Movement practice we will create fundamental and playful patterns to work on our mobility, flexibility, balance, strength and coordination.

 

Soft Acrobatics

Let's flow, jump, roll, fly, balance, entangle... We will go into different basic soft acrobatic patterns. From handstand basics, cartwheel variations, basic rolling and arching. My approach is to find ease in movements. We will use the ideas from our Mobility and Movement sessions to find that ease and flow in our soft acrobatic practice, as well as ideas from dance and improvisation.

 

Partner Work

How can I make myself stable and nimble at the same time? How can I keep the control of my own movement while another person is guiding me? From Basic Partnering (Contact Improv) exercises to new ideas. Let's move each other.

 

Improvisation

We will use our patterns to create different tasks for improvisation, and the other way around. It's about expanding your movement vocabulary, find new connections, releasing, dancing and having fun. We will playfully put together all the techniques we learn from the beginning and go into improvisations, alone and with tactile help from another person. You can get into your own rhythm, move and let yourself be moved.

 

Somatics

During the workshop we will get into a lot of movement and contact. We will dive into detailed techniques and explore the freedom of movement. In both ways we will train our mindfulness and body awareness. It is important to me that we create a safe space together where we can move freely and share. Emotions that have built up may come to the surface. However, I would like to draw attention to this and highlight this important point for the workshop. My practice can be very somatic and I would like to invite you to get to know more about yourself and your body. Please be aware of this. You are also welcome to contact me.

​​

The workshop is for anyone who wants to get more into their flow physically and mentally, expand their movement practice, body language and range of motion, and learn something new and share it with others.

I found inspiration in the following areas: different Massage Techniques, Dance, Improvisation, Partnering, Partner Acrobatics, Contact Improvisation, Movement Research, Pilates, Feldenkrais, Soft Acrobatics, Mobility and Fascia Training and probably many other areas, from various teachers, mostly in Berlin, Barcelona and Sydney.
