Bodyscapes &s Landscapes:
​
"Our bodies are moving landscapes. Our skin detects the structures of our surroundings. Our hands have their own intelligence and help us adapt to new environments, connect with materiality, become new bodies."
A theoretical and physical approach to the connection of our bodies and our inner paths with the outside world through the sense of "TOUCH".
These workshops are designed for artists of various disciplines who would like to explore the potential of their body as a moving landscape and bring it into relation with the surrounding spaces, the natural and urban landscapes.

Touch Laboratory:
​
TOUCH LABORATORY is the space where the SKIN plays the most significant role in the shaping of our SPATIAL and BODILY AWARENESS, which we will explore through various techniques of IMPROVISATION.
​
HANDS CAN SEE AND THINK AT THE SAME TIME.
In this series of somatic sessions, we will focus on the importance of touch in the GENERATION of movement. MOVEMENT IS LIFE and we perceive life through spatial manifestations of movements.
​
I a world of touching restrictions, we can still keep a tactile connection to our bodies and self-perception.

​
Molding The Void:
​
Ma = space in between. The space where our bodies exist and move. Where we tell our body stories and unfold our narratives.
These workshops are designed for architects, dancers, movement practitioners, artists and for people curious to explore the Japanese concept of space "MA" space using their bodies as communication language.
​
Mechanisms of openness and connectivity with the material and conceptual world will be introduced, with the aim to explore our ways of understanding, explaining, and working with the given environment and the architectural spaces, the spaces we inhabit.
