We work out how breathing, touch and movement lessons can lead to a lasting positive change in body and mind in a self-determined way at eye level. Individual work on one's own posture, dialogue-based partner work and collective, dynamic group work are trained using martial arts such as Aikido and Systema, as well as the Talmi Methode® and biomechanics according to Meyerhold. Particular emphasis is placed on atomical and physiological principles as well as unconditional physicality.

The aim of our course is to make participants aware of their own individual potential, to bring them closer to their own body utopia - their home body - and to familiarise them with and hone their ability to transform their body and mind. We are not interested in teaching superficial techniques or expanding the vocabulary of gestures, but in transferring a qualitative essence: by experiencing their potential kinetic energy, participants become free to represent any process in any form. This inner and outer freedom can give rise to responsibility for one's own work (in play, dance, acting, writing, etc.).
