An important part of the training is based on imagination. Imagination can bring unexpected movements and new impulses to your body. “Metamorphosis” is a key word within that; images and sensations between contemplative-meditative and queer-grotesque arise. The basic training opens the body to every possible movement. Another aim is to extend the body into the space, to expand into the venue, to use and enlarge your presence.
I want the participant to experience, that reality is not only objective and concrete, and that dance is more than the movement of the body. To search together, to learn the technique of dance, to create positive energy, to motivate ourselves and to vitalize, to sense our physicality in a new way and to find new possibilities in it – these are also goals of the workshop.

More than three intensive weeks of dance training, healing sessions, meditation and macrobiotic cooking. First in KokuGikan Aikodo Dojo Berlin and than in the beautiful countryside with lake and forest at Gut Reichenow.
The basic training is based on the observation of essential physical nature principles and their consistent transformation into the dancing body. On this basis we will build up and work on:
When we understand how our body and mind work, we can make them stronger. With self-made Japanese treatments and macrobiotic cuisine we support and nourish our body and mind.
Every morning we will practice Vipassana meditation by Ajhan Tong Sirimangalo. This meditation involves mindful bowing, mindful walking, mindful sitting. You can extend it to any activity, for example as working meditation. We observe the perception of our senses, thinking and feeling and hereby we practiced to concentrate our mind on the moment. The resulting presence is the basis for all further workshop contents. www.vipassana-dhammacari.com

Fri.+ Mon. 10:00-15:00, Sat. + Sun. 10:00-17:00
This training proposes and generates questions about the body and vigilance towards its immediate, ever-shifting internal and external states. We work with our direct senses, imagery and varied interventions towards the ceaseless porosity between flesh, bone, imagination and space to yield impossible and/or newfound bodies. Applicable to movement generation, improvisation, perception and performance, this comprehensive movement training offers a progression of open, incisive investigations. Together, we will challenge physical limits, scale and timing, evoking sense memory and rigorously re-examining the body as a dynamic, transformative environment.
Cost 220€ / 190€ if you apply until 9 March 2014
