The Body of Now
A workshop with Dagmar Kasper (AT) in cooperation with ImPulsTanz - Vienna International Dance Festival
The Body of Now
Bodywork workshop in the morning led by Dagmar Kasper
Using concepts from Body Mind Centering, Cranio Sacral Work, Nuad, and Yoga, we expand the repertoire of the body – its sensations and expressions. We explore the body, its specific moods, experiences, movement patterns, and possibilities. Through meditative journeys through the body, mutual touch, and specific movement tasks, deepened body awareness becomes possible. In this way, we can become more aware of different areas of the body and their connection to our emotional being, and we come into deeper contact with ourselves. Mindful bodywork allows us to experience new, previously unconscious qualities in ourselves beyond our habitual, entrenched concepts of self. Contact with deeper layers of our body—in stillness and in movement—enables a more present experience of ourselves and our environment.
Shared Moments
The two workshops of Dagmar and Oliver are synchronized, but they can also be booked individually and are complete workshops in themselves. Dagmar and Oliver will offer sessions in which the connection between the two courses is particularly noticeable and tangible, and which are open to participants of both courses. In addition, there will also be opportunities for the whole group to experience the fantastic nature and the historical surroundings together.
This workshop can be booked together with Oliver Klebert's course “The Art of the Moment”
