Awakening

Monday to Friday 7:30 – 9:00

In the morning, when our body is yet slowed-down and still, before we have dragged it in business as usual, it is the most proper time to enliven and open all our senses, open to life, dance and flow. These words depict the morning in a space, where time flows easily, in the pace that is appropriate for us at the moment, where music sounds as if it came from a distance. The morning in the space, where we are together, but firstly everybody with themselves…. just listening to your body, where it wants to move and what it starts to experience through movement, touch and imagination.

Body has its ability to tune into its surroundings and to other bodies. It perceives and emits information. The space, all of us and our movement, this all is gradually making up a harmonic whole, which still preserves the freedom of every individual. We are recognizing our longing and follow it. A fresh power flows through us and grows.

Zita Pavlištová

She is one of the few teachers of contact improvisation in Czech Republic. She operates in Prague. In her work, she connected the technique of contemporary dance with contact improvisation. She shares the art of the movement based on listening to our body. In her work, she seeks for limits and loves extremes. She inquires into the body in movement and its connection with mind. She uses long, still and conscious watching to the inner movement, as well as pace, lose of control and risk – situations where body needs to be given an implicit trust.

„Through the body, it’s possible to understand a lot. Just listen to the ways how it speaks to us. My body is wise, it teaches me much more than all of my teachers. And at the same time it is willing to be taught. It’s not a good idea to force it in any way, it’s better to trust it boundlessly. Then it manages things that we have never even dreamed about.“
