” In these classes, we will intertwine technique and imagination, awakening the body as an instrument of discovery. We begin by waking it up, stretching it, and activating it to activate the energy that dwells within it.

We will explore technical notions while opening space for liberation and expansion. Each proposal is an invitation to challenge attention, refine coordination, give voice to expression, and unleash creativity. Here, questions arise with each movement: How do I move? How do I feel? How can I create my own body? The body ceases to be a presence and becomes language. ”

[Sérgio Matias]
