How can we become more alive, present and responsive?

How can we create an effortless alignment and ease in our body?

How can we create authentic self expression?

Join us in exploring these questions and more in a playful and fun way, drawing on extensive somatic knowledge, research and experience gained in dance and the martial arts.

What we bring into this work are Andrea Maciel’s more than 15 years of experience in working with actors and dancers as a dancer, movement teacher, scholar and body therapist. Andrea has a background in body-mind-centering, based also on the work of Laban and Bartenieff.

Peter Kramer contributes and draws on his experience of practicing and studying soft martial arts (Ki-Aikido) for 20 years that had the co-ordination of mind and body at its heart, and on my experience as a tutor and therapist.

Some of the elements we are going to work with are personal dance and authentic self-expression, moving from the centre and effortless alignment, the body in relation and connection, and cellular movement patterns and inner resonance.
