Corpo de Agora Movement Retreat

Corpo de Agora Movement Retreat

310€ - 360€
~~ Welcome to a weekend retreat in Arrábida with Carlota and Natalia ~~


Corpo de Agora Retreat is an invitation for presence, to be in the Now. A weekend dedicated to movement/dance practices that will guide us towards Presence. An opportunity to connect with the Nature that surrounds us and the one inherent to us. By approaching the Now with a curious body and mind, we’ll open a ground for new possibilities and new abilities to be unveiled. Researching and opening for creativity. Exchanging knowledge and experiences. 
We invite you to dive into a fertile ground for building resilience, being playful, vulnerable, silly, to be seen and to see, to observe and to listen, and ultimately, to connect. 

We’ll be moving through the weekend with the following practices:
- Qigong inspired practice
- Gaga 
- Contemporary Movement 
- Creative methods for composition and improvisation, solo, duet, trio and group creation

This weekend retreat is dedicated to all the movement enthusiasts out there that wish to dive into a deeper understanding of the body in movement, dance and creative practices. 
We find it important that the participants already have some previous experiences in bodywork / awareness.


“Life is NOW. There was never a time when your life was not now, nor will there ever be.”
Eckhart Tolle

EN / About Gaga
Gaga is the movement language that was developed by the Israeli choreographer Ohad Naharin throughout many years, parallel to his work as a choreographer and the artistic director of Batsheva Dance Company.

Teachers guide the participants using a series of instructions that build one on top of the other. Rather than copying a particular movement, each participant in the class actively explores these instructions with their own interpretation. We welcome movement from the origin of listening to our bodies, and we explore different qualities and work with multi-layer tasking. The classes offer a creative framework to experience the pleasure of movement in a welcoming, accepting atmosphere without mirrors and in comfortable clothes. 

PT / Sobre Gaga
Gaga é uma linguagem de movimento desenvolvida por Ohad Naharin ao longo de muitos anos de pesquisa, em paralelo com o seu trabalho como coreógrafo e diretor artístico da Batsheva Dance Company, e teve origem na sua crença de que o movimento gera bem estar.
Gaga fornece uma estrutura onde se descobre e fortalece o corpo, onde se trabalha a flexibilidade, a resistência e agilidade, estimulando os sentidos e a imaginação. As aulas têm a duração de 1 hora onde as instruções dadas pelo professor têm como objetivo aumentar a conscientização corporal oferecendo informação de forma cumulativa, criando uma experiência multissensorial e fisicamente desafiadora. É um workout! Os participantes devem usar roupa confortável, e preparados para dançar de meias ou pé descalço.

About Movimento Contemporâneo 
 
 / PT
 
Movimento Contemporâneo, poderia ser “dança contemporânea”, mas o "movimento" deixa um alcance de possibilidades mais abrangente. Contemporâneo porque é de Agora, atual, chama a Presença. 
Estas sessões são criadas para todos aqueles que desejam explorar a sua relação com o corpo em movimento. Através da exploração das possibilidades de um corpo dançante criativo, atento, observador, abre-se um chão de oportunidades onde podemos ser e expressar. 
Estas aulas vão beber inspiração a técnicas da dança contemporânea, floor work, um pouco de quigong, gaga, acompanhadas pela própria linguagem da facilitadora. Para criar um corpo estruturado, enraizado, inteligente, flexível, forte e capaz de se mover no espaço com todo o seu potencial. 
Um caminho para co-criar, dançar, suar e viver a alegria e a liberdade do movimento!
