Do you sometimes feel disconnected from your body?
Do you need both a group activity and time for yourself and want to get your brain and heart moving?
Do you want to be more in the here and now instead of wavering between the past and the future?
Do you long to be seen and to experience your potential?
Then come and have fun with us!
In a safe environment you can experience how movement turns into dance, voice into music and play into performing art! This course is based on body- and movement-centred improvisation and focuses on mindfulness, awareness and change processes. We integrate all that is present and encourage spontaneous, conscious expression.
A warm-up with relaxation exercises, brain dance and vocal practise brings us into the here and now.
We then explore an idea or theme through individual, partner and group exercises. The open structure of the group means that we have new play partners and experience new and temporary situations, which expands our improvisation skills. Playful ease and imitation free us from the pressure to be particularly original or creative. We experience and celebrate our pure being as creativity.
Voice, speech and movement are our instruments. You are welcome to bring other instruments as well as your own ones. We also have sound instruments available at exploratorium.
Seeing and being seen, sometimes serious, humorous or childish, sometimes absurd, grotesque or philosophical. We experience all facets of the human experience in the exercises and show them in small performances in front of the group.
Languages: The teacher speaks German, English and Turkish. The improvisers can improvise in any of them or in their own language.
