Warm up class  it will be lead by Lara Martelli  or guests following the concept  -  i teach what i practice -

price : class + jam 5 euro  /   only jam contribution 3 euro

I teach what i practice . I practice awareness , receptiveness, openness, attention.

We tune in  the entire psycho-corporal system  in order to be able to play and interact  in a creative  and spontaneous way ,  to increase our capability to create movements and  to allow things to happen .

we sharp our perceptions through  impro tasks  alone or with partner and in the group .

i start  choosing a focus , simple but complex enough to open up questions and possibility of development ;  observing  the re-action of the participant  and connecting with my own  experiences towards the theme.

Mostly the themes i work with are related to the fundamentals elements of the  body in movement ( breath , weight , alignment , connectivity , space , time ,  intention/ expression , ...) and mostly it develop in a communicative playful  group improvisation .
