Sensitive Body is a dance workshop focused on exploring movement in all its forms. The aim is to expand the body’s possibilities, paying attention both to our inner landscape and to the space around us. I would like to share tools that open pathways to explore one’s own dance through softness and listening. We will work with bodily sensitivity and physicality to enrich our movement. We will explore individually, in pairs, and in groups, allowing enjoyment and play to move through our process.
This workshop is aimed at people with diverse backgrounds who are interested in movement as a form of expression, exploration, and connection.
