Yoga class with Stéphane Bourhis
The teaching of Yoga following the BKS Iyengar methodology is based in depth practice of yoga postures and pranayama (art of breathing), with rigorously, intensity and precision of the body alignments. During the class we gradually explore the outer and the inner geometry of the body in different groups of postures and movements.

Contemporary technique class with Vittoria De Ferrari Sapetto
The training “Artylogica” proposes different kind of exercises, engages different technical abilities and passes through structured dance sequences and physical theater guided improvisation. The aim is to question our creative habits and find new pathways to enrich our movement vocabulary. The class is influenced by martial arts and investigates the relationship between body, dynamics and architectural space. Participants are invited to explore theatrical aspects of their physicality and approach movement through a specific “state” rather than perceiving it as a simple technical task. Artylogica is Vittoria’s creative translation to searching a logic into the art of dance; an utopia considering its constant state of change. Within the boundless scope of logical choices, what matters is the one which suits each one of us.

Workshop 'Partnering workshop & improvisation' with Emmi Väisänen
In this workshop we will bring awareness to our own body through another body, because we can learn a lot about ourselves through another person.Partnering can help us recognize where we have limitations and patterns and through these discoveries, re-discover ourselves. We will work in duos, groups and also improvise by ourselves, but with assistance of a partner.The body is complex and while working with a partner there are multiple elements being negotiated constantly: agency, touch, weight. Therefore improving coordination and expanding awareness in our own body can make one more available to another.In the past years I have been working closely with companies 'not standing' and ECCE, that have influenced and deepened my interest in the search for the unconventional and detailed, intricate movement of the body. This workshop is for curious minds who wish to challenge themselves and through partnering discover more versatility and new pathways within themselves.
