Transform your life into a symphony
28.- 29. 9. 2024
MAITREA, Týsnká ulička 6
When our body is relaxed, life energy can flow freely. Movements, thoughts and feelings turn into echoes, colouring the space of our body and together creating music.
In this workshop we will explore the amazing potential of our body as a musical instrument. We will tune into the notes of mindful movement and play with rhythm, voice and breath together. This will be a wonderful opportunity to tune into our own bodies and remind ourselves of our ability to listen. At the same time, like the orchestra, we will be part of the resonance and echo of the whole group.
You don't have to be an experienced dancer or talented musician to embark on this journey of discovery. You just need to have the desire and willingness to tune in and listen to the tones of your body and the world around you again.
Worshop is held in english
What can you tune into?
Each day will be divided into two three-hour blocks of work with a two-hour break for lunch, integration and recovery. We will progress gently through layering techniques.
On Saturday, we will begin with movement to fully anchor ourselves in the body and shed excess baggage that we won't need on this journey. Throughout the day, we will dive into exploring cadences, body rhythm and begin to release the voice.
On Sunday morning we will return to the voice, which will be the thread that connects everything we have already discovered. It will lead us from our own body as a musical instrument to connecting with the group as a musical whole.
