Sensing body and immaterial-material body: quality of movement, direction and high lifting

CONTACT IMPRO workshop in FEBRUARY

Saturday 10th February

16.15 to 21.15

Ealry bird 40-50 euro before 25th January

Focusing this time on the quality of movement, fascia, and the direction of our way to create a lifting with our partner. We will explore also the trio constellation. The workshop invites you to immerse yourself in understanding the language of Contact Improvisation and the transformative nature of the body, through the learning process of connecting with your sensing. By incorporating attention and the sensory body as waves we will encounter each other, and notice the creation of our decision in direction as well the spectrum of possibility of our qualities of interaction. Sensing Waves is a practice generated by listening to the internal waves of the sensing body and stems from Barbara Berti’s interspecies research, working, practicing and dancing with nonhuman encounters (dogs and plants).

Hatha-Ashtanga Yoga

Date: December 3 and December 17

Time: 10:00-12:00

Name: Hatha-Ashtanga Yoga – an extended  well-rounded practice true to the source

Description:
This class will includes multiple limbs from Patanjali’s eight-limbed yoga system (Ashtanga Yoga): Yama (Yoga Ethical Living), Niyama (Yoga Observances), Asana (Yoga Postures), Pranayama (Yoga Breathing), Dharana (One-Pointed meditation), Dhyana (Mindfulness Meditation), and maybe even a spontaneous Samadhi (Highest State of Yoga).

It is suitable for anyone who is interested in exploring yoga beyond the conventional posture and movement (Asana) and is curious to discover the full potential of yoga as a life transforming path using breath, awareness, attitude and intention to cultivate peace, wellbeing and ultimately a significant reduction of unnecessary suffering.
The class will not be more physically demanding than any other yoga class, however it will include forms of yoga practice that are not generally done in conventional and shorter settings. There is no need to be able to perform complicated postures, no need to be flexible or strong. All that is required is the willingness to practice yoga for 2 hours with an open mind and heart.
Open to ALL LEVELS and in English!

SOCIAL PRESENCING THEATER

When?

Sunday 10.09.22

2 – 5 pm

What?

How to make a true move?

Begin to stop thinking, planning and manipulating and instead trusting our body-knowing and a sense of open space. Breaking with habitual opinions, judgements and fears to attend to the emerging future. Deepening our embodied and spatial knowing by bringing awareness to the social field and its hidden patterns. Come and explore the magic of social presencing theater!

Social presencing theater was developed by choreographer, performer and educator Arawana Hayashi and scholar Otto Scharmer (theory U). Theater here stands for being seen in your authentic way. You can find more info here: https://www.u-school.org/aboutus/spt

I learned this art form from Arawana and see SPT as a powerful mindfulness practice to create the more beautiful world my heart knows is possible!

Depending on our group size I will choose different practices that include individual and group presencing through movement, meditation, improvisation and dialogue.

The workshop will be in English or German depending on the participants.

Who?

Everyone open to connection, movement, improvisation and play is welcome.
