A Body Research Laboratorium: Beyond Language

You will leave with a stronger sense of presence, a deeper connection to others, and new tools for non-verbal expression.

Step beyond language and explore how we communicate through body, presence, and shared energy. This workshop-laboratorium invites you to relax, reconnect with your body, and discover new ways to express yourself creatively.

In this session, you will:

• Warm up and ground yourself, building presence in the moment
• Practice attention, improvisation, and non-verbal interaction
• Explore group dynamics and collective awareness
• Create a shared scene and reflect on the experience

What kind of exercises to expect:

• Guided body awareness and grounding practices
• Movement and improvisation tasks
• Non-verbal partner and group interaction
• Attention and listening exercises
• Collective composition (creating a group scene)

For:
Open to performers, artists, and anyone curious about embodied expression. No prior experience is required: just curiosity and willingness to move and explore.

Who I am:

I am a performer and experienced facilitator, trained across diverse European theatre and performative traditions. I create safe, supportive spaces where participants feel free to experiment, play, and open their creativity.

Duration:

150 mins

What to Expect
