The workshop “Presence, grace and power in movement” will be about exploring the intimate relationship between our embodied presence and our ability to move with grace and power. When the two are working in harmony, we can have a big impact on our surroundings.

When moving our body we have two options: contraction and release. They are both useful and necessary, but imbalances and problems arise when we stay in either contraction or release for too long.

In this workshop we will be exploring these topics through movement patterns of varying complexity. We will move from the fundamentals of standing and walking, to more complicated patterns of expression drawing on exercises from Taiji, Chinese traditional martial arts, gymnastics, floor work and dance. We will also go through basic preparation of the joints and mobility drills for opening your body.

The workshop is open for both beginners and seasoned athletes, you will be challenged according to your capacity.

The workshop will take place at Norsk Taiji Senter, Kirkegata 1-3, Kvadraturen, Oslo
