a workshop for increasing bodily awareness through movement
ESSENTIAL MOVEMENT
scroll down
The workshop is inspired by somatic movement disciplines. While moving we focus on listening to the inner sensations allowing us to reconnect to our bodies and increase self-awareness.
ABOUT
1,5 hours of practice to recuperate our primal language – movement
We will start with the guided dynamic practice for activating all body parts and experiencing movement as a non-stop flow.
During the second part, we will cultivate our capacity for spontaneous movement and playful interactions through improvisation.

Hi! My name is Olga Kozmanidze. As a performer and musician, I’ve been engaged with body-based artistic practices since 2014. I am fascinated by the capacity of our body for healing through spontaneous and conscious movement. Sometimes we only need to reconnect to it. I am happy to create an occasion for that during my workshop. Hope to see you there!
I completed a number of art programs, including experimental sound and multimedia technology; performance art and voice movement integration. I’ve attended workshops and regular classes on contact improvisation, Feldenkrais, Gaga movement language, somatic movement, butoh and others. Currently, I live and work between Berlin and Pescara, Italy.
GUIDE
I am a founding member and a performer in “Sentire” – the “art and science” project where we use interactive technology that transforms human interaction into sound. In collaboration with Humboldt University in Berlin, “Sentire” received funding for 3 years of research to which I’ve contributed as a research associate.
Orti Geometrici is a garden situated on the hills of Pescara and an agricultural project, dedicated to cultivating and producing artisanal fermented food. The garden hosts events that stimulate well-being and new forms of thinking and doing together with nature.
