Kursbeschreibung

 

In this interactive workshop, we will step out of the analytical mind and explore how creative movement improvisation is always possible. Academic research often isolates the intellect, but our movement is an aesthetic exploration that opens, widens, and deepens imagination and creative agency.
 
Participants will experience firsthand how the smallest physical movements speak to the mind, and vice versa. Our practice will guide you through a playful discovery of the senses and sensory responses, both individually and within the group. To integrate these somatic experiences, we will use visual art and creative writing to reflect on a core question: what happens when I move by myself, and with others?
 

Participants will benefit from the workshop by learning:

  • Practical stress reduction techniques usable in 5 minutes
  • Tools to recognize body's stress signals before burnout
  • Skills for managing performance anxiety and imposter syndrome
  • Understanding that their bodies hold wisdom, not just problems
  • Sustainable self-care practice for their entire academic career

Each day balances understanding, guided practice, and personal exploration. All activities are adaptable to individual comfort.

Please note: this is not a dance class. No prior dance or performance experience is required. It is an open, supportive space for discovery about the self and its relationship to body, mind, and spirit. Please wear comfortable clothing that allows for easy movement, and bring socks. We will be working without shoes. The workshop will be held in English.
 
Please bring notebooks yourself.
