Description: Kinesthetic perception refers to the ability to perceive and regulate the position, movement, tension and use of force of one's own body parts - i.e. muscles, tendons and joints - even without visual control. It is a component of proprioception, enables spatial coordination and plays a central role in learning movements.

Through kinaesthetically oriented improvisation, the workshop invites participants to discover the diverse possibilities of the body, the interpersonal power of movement and their own deep sensitivity, which is shaped by various forms of interaction. The information from the receptors in the muscles, tendons and joints does not come from outside, but simultaneously enables and improves the unconscious and conscious control and steering of movements.

In the "Beginners of All Ages" course, exercises and games stimulate intuition and spontaneity and open up space for playful and responsive movement.
