This workshop is for dancers, actors, artists, and researchers who wish to explore the body within the artistic and performative fields, enriching their somatic vocabulary and movement practice. It is open to everyone— even those with little experience —who loves dance and movement and is interested in exploring the body through knowledge and inquiry, within a safe and non-competitive group setting.

Somatic orient to a multifaceted view of the body, celebrating a dialogue between art, health and life.

>>Yiskah and Francesca have been collaborating for a couple of years, sharing a exploration of living in the present moment through movement and dance. Perceptual quality, the relationship between the intangible and the manifest, and touch characterize their current inquiry.
