A focus will be on the perception of space through movement patterns across the floor, partnering exercises and dynamic combinations.
This workshop is suitable for all movement enthusiasts open to expanding their horizons, with any basic movement backgrounds such as martial arts, dance, yoga, acrobatics, contemporary circus, etc. You will have the opportunity to learn new skills, deepen your physical abilities, enrich your personal practice and increase body consciousness.

Anatolian Belly Dance Workshop
with Buse Çetin
Studio Neukölln
27 April 2024 | 15:00 – 16:30
Donation-based | Suggested 10-25€
You are invited to listen to the deepness of your belly and wave it from this depth. Belly dance is an ancient form of dance mostly known as a shining performing art. But we might also approach it as a ritualistic method for moving meditation. Anatolian belly dance suggests internal movements that makes us travel into our fascial tissues. It aims to reach our spine and each one of our vertebrae. This workshop will offer both improvisations and techniques into your spine, pelvis, legs and connection with gravity, based on Somatic Dialog®. Through this practice, we can feel our bellies as a way to find our centers, ground and relate with gravity, and align within our bodies. Feel your presence in your body and on earth again with the magical touch of Anatolia.
No dance experience required – everyone is welcome. Wear clothing you feel good in, preferably clothes that do not squeeze your body, are comfy and leave your tummy bare. You may wish to bring socks as we dance without shoes.

Handstand Workshop

Herz über Kopf – raus aus dem Kopf, rein in den Körper. In dem Workshop lernen wir alle Grundlagen des Handstands. Wir beginnen mit Aufwärmübungen für den ganzen Körper, vor allem aber für Schultern und Handgelenke. Durch Körperbewusstseinsübungen lernen wir einzelne Körperteile wie die Hüfte, die Brust oder die Füße gezielt anzusteuern. Dieses Körperbewusstsein hilft uns dabei auch über Kopf unser Gleichgewicht halten zu können. Außerdem kräftigen wir gezielt die Schultern und die Körpermitte (Core). Ein weiterer wichtiger Bestandteil ist die Mobilität der Schultern und der Beine. Gerade Letzteres hilft uns später dabei, fortgeschrittenere Handstandpositionen oder -aufgänge zu lernen.
Der Workshop richtet sich sowohl an alle, die noch keine Erfahrungen mitbringen als auch an Menschen mit ersten Vorerfahrungen, die tiefer in das Thema einsteigen möchten. Alle Geschlechter, Körperformen und Alter willkommen!

Dance Acrobatics Workshop with Fabian Otte
Studio Neukölln
18-19 May 2024 | 15:00 – 18:00
50€ early bird (until 12 May)
Fabian’s classes encompass a broad range of movements, drawing inspiration from acro dance, contemporary floorwork, tricking, breaking, and soft acrobatics. This two-day workshop for beginners and intermediates will begin with a comprehensive warm-up to ready both body and mind, introducing the necessary movement quality through improvisation tasks and partner work. In the main part of the workshop, Fabian will share an extensive collection of movement skills and floorwork elements, culminating in a fluid movement sequence practiced in sync with the group. Emphasizing technical development across a broad spectrum of movements, Fabian believes in supporting you in becoming intelligent movers.
Participants should be able to roll safely forward, backward and sideways and be comfortable with moving on the floor. A minimum amount of strength is required to support yourself on the floor in mid-level positions over a longer period of time. A dance and/or acrobatics background is useful but not required.
