This workshop offers an exciting 360° journey of the body with movements from the worlds of dance, martial arts and Animal Flow, enabling children to discover and develop their motor skills and body dynamics. Through natural movements, reflexes, and creative coordination and mobility games, children experience the dancer’s body in all its diversity. Various creative exercises are demonstrated that can also be done in everyday life to improve bodily awareness and develop new creative ideas.
The aim of this workshop is to improve our spatial orientation, to listen to our instincts and to trust them. We learn to recognise signals from our inner selves, to listen to them, and to foster them positively at the same time. The focus is on enjoying the process of learning and experimentation, without fixating on a specific outcome or any other predetermined expectations.
We follow our impulses and allow ourselves to be led freely by the movement. Through this practice, we consciously reconnect with our body and gradually build a greater body awareness.
As part of this workshop, we will also explore ’empty’ and ‘open’ space. We tread through this space, moving consciously and thus developing a nuanced sense of space. Even in chaos, we can find our place and our stillness.
Specifically, this offer consists of:
° Building
