This event is a unique study opportunity with The Bamboo Body team. It will happen in a stunning house in rural area of Spain 1hr drive from Barcelona. In these 3 days, we will lay the beginning of path to create maps with which you can orient yourself within the territory of your own body and its capabilities. These templates will allow for better navigation of a multifaceted world of movement and will help fine-tune your personal practice so it will eventually spill into the quality of your everyday life. There is nothing more fulfilling than knowing one’s body. Knowing your body = knowing yourself.

We will work on qualities of movement that are common across different disciplines and will do our best to help you build a precise understanding of your physical structure and internal landscape. In this event, we will offer participants practical as well as theoretical material, so they can develop conceptual frameworks on how to think about their movement practice and how to develop it further.

SCOPE OF THE EVENT:

Internal maps. Enhancing proprioceptive and exteroceptive qualities through creating a precise scheme of the body. This work is a foundation of many skills across the board. Understanding the position of the body in relationship to itself and the space around it is a requirement for any kind of performance. To orient in any territory you need a map and through this work, you learn the science of cartography in relationship to your own body.

Communication. We will work on establishing terminology for better communication with ourselves and others through the verbal feedback and non-verbal practices.

Expression. In each one of us, there lies a creative capacity and a need to communicate something for which words are not enough. For many people, it is dormant and needs a little help to manifest itself. We will work with tasks that will bring this capacity to the surface by giving you a set of stencils through which you can observe and cultivate your expressive side.

Structure. Understanding your structure and how to work with it versus against it. Learning how to move with the least amount of tension is a prerequisite for longevity and emotional health and this will be one of the main themes of this intensive study. One thing is a conceptual framework and another is practical tools. We will do our best to provide both in parallel so participants can develop and deepen their insight into the subject.

Internal work. The only thing you can really control in life is your inner state. The better you understand it, the better you can communicate with the external environment. This is true for everything: work, practice, high performance, everyday life, and relationships. You will learn tools and strategies to comprehend the inner landscape of your mind and emotions and be able to take control over it.

Improvisation. The ultimate goal of any skill is being able to improvise with it. We will concentrate our efforts on giving you the tools to create an adaptable body that is capable to fit in any environment and situation. The work we will do will be about waking up the quick-witted, problem-solving organism that you evolved to be through various tasks and templates. We will learn the rules in order to be able to break them and create the connections between all the dots in the practice.
