Each session of the course will be dedicated to a specific aspect of embodiment and a body system.
Soma (from Greek: body) is the living body, the breathing, moving, sensitive and perceived body. The moving body becomes an instrument of unfolding knowledge and awareness.
In this course we explore Body-Mind Centering principles. We work hands- on, eyes closed, vocalising, visualising and experiencing our anatomical structure and body systems.
You will develop a deep sense of embodiment together with your own individual and unique knowledge and awareness of the moving body. This will support and inspire both your everyday life situations and the wider adventures of your life.
Somatic movement experience allows trust in the discovery of the self, along with self expression in space and with others.
There will be space for self-reflection and time for sharing though movement and also vocally or drawing.
We work in bare feet. Please wear comfortable clothes and bring water. Feel free to bring a notebook with you if you like to make notes during the session.
If you have any questions about the course please don’t hesitate to contact me: imprevistodanza@gma

Please watch the video about Monica's teaching clicking the link below:
what do we do
Utilizing the principles of contact improvisation and body-mind practices, Monica's teaching focuses on areas such as; awareness of the body's organisation and anatomy; connection to the floor, the space and partner's; and sensing the weight and the flow of the breath into the body.
Confidence in receiving and giving (lifting, falling, momentum, suspension, weight, impetus) is built through suggested movement patterns and observing the singular expression of the body in motion
Surrounding Moves
Dance improvisation, Instant Composition, Space Responsive Workshop
Moving with the surrounding from within. How the environment effects my movements how I can intervene on a landscape through my movement.
Location and Dates TBC
NATURA (ΦΥΣΗ) DanceLab movement - voice Retreat
Summer dance Lab in Nature
Expanding our senses, cultivating the attention, the observation and the search, we will explore the improvisation in solo, duos and groups. Voice, breath, easiness and letting go, connected to being grounded and centred while moving dynamically.
We will use the surrounding of the place we are to let our souls and bodies to express through movement and voice.
