//single-workshop-main Landing week - Unplugged Dance

Landing week

with Yorgos Sioras Deligiannis & Kyveli Kouvatsi

 

This year’s program is designed to ensure a smooth first week of landing in space.

 

From our experience, everything needs its own time—including fully arriving in a new place. That’s why the first week of this seven-week journey will not immediately immerse you in the educational process.

Instead, first days will focus on encountering each other and the environment, as well as establishing a common ground through collective practices and rituals such as heart circles.

Yorgos and Kyveli, artistic directors of the program, will facilitate this week, holding space for participants to explore and become familiar with the land, the program’s structure, and each other’s needs. They will do so by introducing practical aspects of our co-living experience while also sharing a few tools and mini-sessions from their practices, Losing Ground™ and Bloom Inside™, and Mobility morning routine, creating a smooth transition to the workshops following. 

 

🌱 Losing Ground™ is a partnering practice that emerges from extensive movement research into improvisation, co-movement, touch, empathy, and consent. Participants will explore shared decision-making within movement practice, the concept of togetherness, and approaches to partnering with deep listening. 

 

🌷 Bloom Inside™ is a mindful dance improvisation practice through the prism of experiential anatomy. It offers ways to move and dance with environmental awareness while maintaining an honest and lucid connection with one’s inner core. Kyveli will gently guide the team in exploring movement while deeply listening to and embracing their present state of sensing and being. 

 

 

Kyveli Kouvatsi & Yorgos Sioras Deligiannis are movement educators and dance artists, based in Lefkada, Greece.
