My background in movement comes from growing up as a handball player. This sport tough me about momentum, ability to fall without fear, trust my instincts, trust my body intelligence to adapt, observe the space and have a felt sense perception of it, being fast, but alert… Nowadays I work as psychologist and psychotherapist, I am a founder of Moave - psychology in movement organisation based in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
For me CI is a dance that teaches me again and again about importance and gifts of presence. My curiosity is how to expand this now, enlarge my perception, empty my bodymind, so I can follow the
emerging rhythm.
What inspires me lately inside CI is the awareness around what we can bring to ours lives from practicing this dance. How can our bodies become more sensitive and therefore also more emphatic,
with clarity of boundaries, with sense of co-shared responsibility etc.
I have deep respect for this practice since in my perception it is a teacher of life and a playground for joy. Glad I will share this playground with you.
Over the years, my interest in CI became more detailed, both in quality and technique.
What makes my senses expand?
How can I enlarge my attention to the subtle cues of the dance happening without me or you doing it. I am curious about how I am in space. And how the space is in me also, while I move. Space
within my own body, within the co-created space of us.
In all the “in between” that are not empty.
What I am currently interested in my movement practice is very much connected with state of presence and enlargement of our sensitivities to be receptive.
To the environment, to the stimulus, to dimension of speed, direction, momentum.
To be attentive to what I am not attentive yet.
I love to work with attentive presence as a way of being - alert, restful, and available. The quality that offers responsiveness and rest at the same time.
This seemingly paradoxical themes are creating such a large playground for being with, being for and being in.
In the class we will explore how perception of distance, speed, and direction can affect my quality of dance and support some technical elements.
How momentum, suspension, surprise and instinct can play a role in fluidity, improvisation and flow.
