Dancing from the heart is much more than just move according to emotions.
In unstable situations are you trying to hold yourself by tensing your muscles or
do you tune into your heart and coordinate from there?
learn a unique way to train and tune your movement & sensory system
Did you know
when you „relay on your heart”
the equilibrium & memory centre of your body starts to organise stability on a neuro-visceral level, tuning deep muscles to coordinate better?
The effect of this fine tuning mechanism:
✓ deep muscles activity & stability
✓ easier to hold posture & release into balance situation with others
✓ you gain more strength & momentum
✓ your movements become more dynamic,
✓ harmonise the hormonal & energetic system
Learn how to
✓ strengthen your core & whole body more effectively
✓ manage physical load and emotions with more ease
✓ reach better alignment & intuition
✓ develop your technical skills and attitude to improvise
It helps you to
✓ overcome the belief: you can’t dance
✓ improvise effortlessly from heart, not from the mind
✓ feel reconnected to your body & rhythm
sense, move and listen with your heart
Explore
How to influence & be influenced by the present moment, and the space within & around you
How the movement repertoire & plasticity (quality, tone, rhythm) is changing, when the heart is not suppressed, nor dominant, just resting as it is…
How to connect mutually without giving up on yourself for the sake of togetherness
Here is an older video, to give an impression how improvised movement could look like, and which qualities might show up in our session. Fortunately you will have real partners to move with, not just a shadow, but it could happen, we meet with some shadow aspect of ourself, during our solo & shared time.
The mood is going to be much more light and bright in the workshop
We will play with distance and closeness in the physical and emotional realm, guided and spontaneous movement & touch & gaze.
Exploring the power of tiny shifts within our body and dive into imaginary & touch based somatic release techniques and improvised dance.
The unusual, out-of-the-ordinary balance situations, compositions and playful but sometimes emotionally moving exercises will reach the very layers, where those unconscious patterns are rooted, which affect us on a visceral level in challenging situations.
The setting of the workshop have the potential to overwrite those inherited stories, learnt reactive strategies that no longer serve us.

Hey! I'm Bea
movement therapist specialised at postnatal core & pelvic floor recovery, dancer, mother
I’d like for you to feel how joyful it is when your movements are rising from your heart and your dance that guides your mind back to your heart!
I got in touch with contact improvisation during my physiotherapy study at University, more than 15 years ago, in 2005.
I fell in love immediately with CI. The anatomy finally came alive and the movements became a channel to my inner system, way beyond practical, mechanical tools to fix issues, motion got filled with emotion.
Since 2010, I have been experimenting with the fusion of therapeutic exercises and creative intuitive dance, because I find it to be the most fun and FUNctional approach to overwrite old, inefficient movement patterns with more effective ones in long term.
This workshop is special to me, because it’s integrating those artistic and somatic experiences which shaped my perception and personality in the last 10 years, and supported me on my post natal regeneration journey spiced with depression, to heal.
Sometimes we only need a tiny impulse to gain power and take one more step inward, which then has a complete transformation effect outward.
Your body reflects all your inner, hidden aspects, patterns, attitude, like a mirror, and if you listen to its signs, can guide you as a compass to make better intuitive choices in your life.
With this workshop you are not only training your muscles, and balance, but refine your body-awareness & perception, to help you sense better, and make better postural choices to align your body more optimally. The better you sense, the more you can trust and connect to others as well.
Those mentors, who had the biggest impact on how I approach the body and human relationships:
Restore Your Core method by Lauren Ohayon, Contact Improvisation by Tímea Györke, Authentic Movement by Gregory Chevalier, Body-Mind Centering by Ferenc Kálmán, Feldenkrais method by Adrienne Bárdos, authentic Clowning by Nicolas Cambas, pantomim & physical theatre by Richard Kimbley.
I am currently training at the dance education of Matan Levkowich in the field of contemporary dance, ensemble performance, contact improvisation.
