Without words – The body does not lie
Workshop for teachers and educators
The workshop “Without Words” invites you to explore the language of the body with its manifold possibilities of expression. Different exercises let you perceive the body reactions, which can trigger different feelings, and increase the awareness for your own body language as well as that of others.
Furthermore, the most diverse language pictures and RED applications will be translated into the body and tested… Butterflies in BAUCH, clattering teeth and shaking knees also offer room for association for inventing short moving scenes, like having something in your hand, twisting someone’s head or slipping down the BUCKEL…
For everything an inner attitude is necessary, which is reflected in the outer attitude… and vice versa. A workshop to expand consciousness, research and collect material for one’s own teaching. The workshop takes place together with international German teachers* of the Goethe-Institut Dresden.
