Composed Improvisation / Improvised Composition
nourishing the writing of life

The centre of our practice is our consciousness as a support for the dance improvisation – composed improvisation. Being aware of our inner space, the space between body parts, for example between head and chest, the space outside us.
How to write, how to save what comes to be improvised? – nourishing the writing of life, structuring, thinking what comes across.
Writing, composing, knowledge meeting the innate – giving a spontaneous vital character to a composed structure.




Tai Chi Chuan
a magnificent tool for our consciousness

Tai Chi is a nonviolent martial art form supporting us to develop grounding, fluidity in moving and calmness. The base of the practice comprises form, Chi Kong, practice with partners and self-defense.

In a series of movements and postures inner circles are developing: circulation of Chi (life energy), spirals of arms and legs, action of the centre, releasing the spine. Chi Kong is the work with the breath, organising movement and posture, and the circulation of energies in the body. With a partner we practise "push-hands", these are playful exercises for flow (deviation) and grounding (projection). Self-defense means the application of the form aiming to use the inner energies.

Tai Chi is a support for meditation, action and health and mainly a magnificent tool for our consciousness, in the beginning superficially for axis and posture, over time Tai Chi effects skin, bones and organs in a subtle and profound way.
