From Body
to Body
with Gisela Dória
Interdisciplinary Movement Practices
School year 2024/2025
Monday | 19h30-21h00
From Body to Body consists of regular classes based on the practice that Gisela Dória has been developing over many years of pedagogical and artistic experience. The work proposed here dialogues with a variety of techniques, including Dance, Pilates, Gyrokinesis® and various Somatic Education practices, including the Klein Technique™. More than a synthesis of these techniques, the classes promote the integration of various approaches in favor of a sensitivity that takes the uniqueness of each body as its starting point.
The aim is to develop awareness of the physical structure in order to make movement more functional and pleasurable, helping to maintain the body’s vitality. These classes thus open the way to self-observation, providing each person with the necessary resources for the continued (re)education of their movement.
Classes are open to adults of all ages, with no technical or physical prerequisites.
