MOVEMENT
& CONTEMPORARY DANCE
This workshop by Slovak performer Paaulína Šmatláková focuses on exploring authentic movement through improvisation and creative tasks, as well as discovering one's own strength and dynamics through a relationship with the floor.
The aim at the beginning of the workshop is to connect with our body and mind as a unity, to explore our uniqueness and authenticity, and to open up to creativity in the movement that feels most natural to us. In the second half of the workshop, we will learn about simple principles of floor contact and inverted positions. We will focus on the dynamics, rhythm, and lightness that can accompany us in the process of exploring our strength and explosiveness. At the end of the workshop, we will dance together using the explored movement qualities.
Practical info: The lessons are designed for everyone to work and develop their body at their own level. It is therefore suitable for those who already have some experience with movement. Suitable clothing includes long pants + preferably a hoodie, with something lighter underneath - to ensure comfort during both warm-up and flow.

Enter the pad and find time just for yourself, your body and your mind. Lessons of hatha yoga with Jana Ryšlavá are focused on the breath and a slow warm-up and strengthening. In the middle part of the lesson, we will focus on rotations and positions supporting the function of the gallbladder, the correct function of which helps us get rid of unpleasant feelings. Together with the coming spring, it will help us wake up and revitalize the body.
The lesson is suitable for intermediate and beginners, who were already engaged in some kind of movement. For each asana, Jana presents an easier variant and also adds options for more difficult variants.
We recommend bringing your own mat and comfortable clothing that does allow to move freely, a blanket or a sweatshirt for final relaxation.
