🌟 Calling dancers and individuals with movement experience, and love for CI: Join us for "The Poetry of Rising and Falling" with the internationally renowned CI & Feldenkrais educator Simonetta Alessandri! 🌿

This seminar combines Feldenkrais and Contact Improvisation practices, helping you explore your physical and performance skills through improvisation and the somatic experience that cultivates body awareness, movement communication, and the balance between rising and falling. We play with the physical forces, dancing in flow, with easy transitions from the ground to flying and falling, a continuous cycle of states of being. 🌀
