The intention of this class is to dive deeper into the body and stimulate the state of presence and alertness through highly physical movement, breath and partner games. How can we use the body a vessel to become more conscious, adaptable, creative beings in our art and in life? I propose a strong connection the floor, to rhythm and to the other that aim to challenge you out of your personal vocabulary. Maria’s movement is influenced by different techniques such as Flying Low, Fighting Monkey and martial arts in particular capoeira. Join us in the art of the body.
