PRAXIS Movement is a physical class series that offers different experiential approaches to embodiment, movement and consciousness to support our dancing bodies and dance-making.

Each class is 50kr.

Bring a mat and comfortable, warm clothes.

The doors will open 9:15,

We ask you to come in good time, as the space is not easy for late-comers.

DESCRIPTION

The classes will be rooted in Taiji-practice as movement meditation, using its fundamental principles to deepen our awareness and grounding.

The interplay between the complementary forces will guide our explorations; light and darkness, substance and emptyness, form and no-form.

We notice how stillness and giving attention to our inner landscape can generate movement. We experience our presence and porous membranes in communication with the surrounding space. The classes will contain guided forms of Taiji and Qigong as well as the possibility to follow our own bodies in personal investigation.
