Falling softly workshop

February 1 - 16:00 - 21:00 EET

The workshop proposed by Alexandra invites you to discover gravity as an invisible structure, an immaterial surface that can support you on your way to the ground. We can imagine it as a current we can softly navigate, learning how to organize our bodies so that falling becomes a dance; so that its momentum propels us in a spiraling motion toward the ground; so that landing is not a destination but a springboard for the continuation of movement.

Each of the two sessions will begin with an Awareness Through Movement lesson using the Feldenkrais Method. During these, you will be guided to explore simple, slow movements with the aim of perceiving movement as a process, observing every stage of it, and becoming aware of how you sense your body in motion. We will then work with rolling movements (judo rolls) and dynamic inversions (headstands, handstands, shoulder stands), diving into space with confidence to land on a soft and safe ground. The workshop will take place at the Judo Club Banat hall in the Iosefin District, on a tatami floor.

Alexandra Gîrbea is a choreographer recently based in Timișoara, where she develops artistic and educational projects. She is focused on evolving her dance practice while also crafting a cultural strategy that integrates her knowledge, intuitions, and curiosities. She studied at the Budapest Contemporary Dance Academy and is currently studying the Feldenkrais Method in Brussels. Her dance practice has always been strongly influenced by martial arts such as wushu, tai chi, aikido, and capoeira.
