An intense research with Zuna and Milan outside the city, in the beautiful surroundings of the High Tatras. Designed for experienced actors, dancers, movers who want to deepen their knowledge about the body and enrich their experience in motion and dance techniques, and improvisation.

 

The workshop/research The Flow of 5 Elements is focused on working with yin-yang transformations and then with the flow of five energy transformations (5 elements) around us, but mainly in the movement of our own body. During practical lessons (including vigilant physical improvisations, movement connections and motion research), as well as theoretical lectures, we offer students a preview of the concept of the five elements and the flow of energy between them. The student will mentaly but mainly in his own body feel the transformation, and start to use his potential in the movement.
