about the workshop

Meet Your Flow is an interdisciplinary workshop and a continuation to Meet Your Mobility.
In this day workshop we will get into the flow of our bodies by using various techniques from the fields of Movement, Partner Work, Soft Acrobatics, Improvisation, Massage and Somatics.

​

In addition, guest teacher Tulio will be teaching a class on contemporary dance with breakdance influences on day 1, 31.01.26.

Tulio is a dancer and choreographer from Cuba. He teaches dance classes in Barcelona and specializes in floorwork and creation. He is also the founder of @theconcept_cuba. You can read more about his guest class below.

​

• We will work on our mobility and fascia, body and mind

• Dive into a Moving Massage Technique that I am still researching

• Play in teams and improvise with our own movement vocabulary

• Play with choreographies, breakdance elements and improvisation

 

How can we move in our flow and also move others? What is the meaning of flow? What does it mean to you to move others? Does movement only happen visible from the outside? How much strength do I need for my movements?​​

 

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 patterns to work on our mobility, flexibility, balance, strength and coordination.

 

Soft Acrobatics

Let's flow, jump, roll, fly, balance, entangle... In this workshop 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 much weight can I put on another body? 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 the patterns from our Mobility, Movement, Soft Acrobatic and Partner Work sessions 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.

 

Moving Massage

Have you ever had the feeling of moving yourself during a massage? 

I will present basic massage techniques that you can use when the other person is moving or being still. Create a safe space to try, receive, give, feel and release.

 

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. This can take the form of laughter, crying or express itself in other feelings. However, this does not always have to be the case. Nevertheless, I would like to draw attention to this and highlight this important point for the workshop. My practice is very somatic and I would like to invite you to get to know more about yourself and your body. Please be aware of this and assess for yourself whether the workshop is something for you. You are also welcome to contact me.

​

Floorwork with Tulio

Tulio's part on day 1 is about combining contemporary dance with elements from breakdance, acrobatics, and other dance forms that flow together into their concept: Floorwork Essentials. The aim is to connect movements fluidly in a formation, from easy to difficult, with different possibilities for your movement practice.

 

OPEN CLASS 01.02

There are a few changes for this workshop weekend.

Unfortunately, the weather forecast for Sunday is poor and the session was planned outside,

so l will cancel the workshop on Sunday and teach an open class for 90 minutes at Mercat de Sant Antoni instead.

All movement backgrounds and levels are welcome. Registration for the class is required.

​

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.

 

All levels and movement backgrounds are welcome.

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.
