Body Liberation Retreat
How can we reach the liberation of the body? How can we nourish the healing body?
Let´s dance and move the resilient body, with flexibility like leaves in the wind and stability like deep grounded roots, and capacity for metamorphosis and transformation.
Yumiko Yoshioka and Annalisa Maggiani have been collaborating for about 30 years in performances, performance projects and workshops. This new proposal stems from the desire to create a retreat for Self-care regeneration, performance practices combining Body Resonance and Butoh with Ecosomatic Dance with Nature and Authentic Movement.
A journey into the resonances of the body, images, the nature and experience of performative practices
Programm
In the morning sessions for 3 hours,Yumiko Yoshioka will offer “Body Resonance” meeting the memories of the body, and freeing the resilient element in our body.
The lunch break will give us a chance to rest in nature or cool off in the river!
In the afternoons for 3 hours, Annalisa Maggiani will lead us with the “Ecosomatic Movement Dance with Nature and Authentic Movement” with the resonances of the elements of nature and your body. Our body will find a way to expand and release the imaginary and the potential of metamorphosis, as opened in the morning trainings.
The mornings and afternoons come together toward a path of resonance, openness, and awareness, by releasing emotional and bodily blocks and integrating this experience into our live and performative rituals.
Our Philosophy
The Body as a place of Being, of Becoming, of Passage in the continuous flow of existence, as a place of treasures to be known…
By giving form to the images that start from the body and the nature, we obtain a stronger perception of the world of sensations, of internal landscapes and of the connection with the external world, with the universe of which we are a part.
Body Liberation
This Project is not proposed here as therapy, but as dance and experience that help us to be more receptive and in touch with our nourishing Self and the creative - healing body: organic movement, body resonances, encounters with nature and the trans-personal aspect can nourish the regenerative energies inherent in the body and open up new movement and performance practices: Body Liberation!
