Playfully alive – a 2days workshop with a lot of invitations to explore different aspects of ourselves and different roles through movement – in Contact Improvisation, Bodystorytelling and Yoga.
What roles are familar to us? Which are appealing but seemingly far away or to childish, to funny, to serious, to … to try them „normally“? How does an empowering role move like?
This weekend will offer the room to taste different qualities of life through movement as a main language. We will also share and reflect on what we experienced in English & German.
Let‘s meet and move together through the pathway of different roles.
Let them dance, do sun salutations, meditate and PLAY.

- Is there somthing about yourself you want to share with us before the workshop?
