4 hours, combining an introduction to the research with a hands-on experiential workshop.
Description
The programme explores different aspects of ourselves and different ways of approaching the present moment by deconstructing communication.
Through a guided journey, participants explore body movement and words as the key components of communication. The workshops create the conditions for new forms of interaction, opening space for shared present moments and new ways of relating to themselves and to others.
Through the workshops, participants experience the transformative power of a state of trance, where playfulness, communication and intuition become one.
The programme aims to understand and mobilise the individual to create on a daily basis, strengthening awareness, connection and the experience of the present moment.

Artistic Research
The interdisciplinary research Remaining in the Present Moment (2012–2024) was developed in collaboration with more than 15 performers, artists, psychologists, and scientists. The research integrates body movement, verbal expression and emotional learning into a structured and transferable methodology.
It has been developed and presented with the support of a variety of institutions, including the Athens School of Fine Arts, the University of Nicosia, Dance House Lefkosia, Nea Kinisi Dance Organisation, the Emerging Visual Artists Platform (Fytorio), Buffer Fringe Performing Arts Festival, and Venice International Performance Week.
