A 6-day immersive movement workshop with Kirstie Simson & Charlie Brittain
at Estúdio Yucca
✨ Dancing Practices that Promote Well-being, Resilience & Healing in Challenging Times ✨
What if dancing could become a way to reconnect — to yourself, to others, and to the world around you?
Over six days, we’ll gather near the ocean and the Ria Formosa Natural Park to explore movement practices rooted in improvisation, care, embodiment, creativity, healing, and human connection.
Through shared dancing, movement explorations, partnering, reflection, play, deep listening and open dialogue, we’ll dive into practices that cultivate resilience, presence and transformation.
This workshop draws from:
— Improvisation & Contact Improvisation
— Contemporary dance
— Alexander Technique
— Bodywork & myofascial release
— Biomechanics & movement rehabilitation
— Meditation, Aikido & integrative health practices
Held by the internationally acclaimed artists and teachers Kirstie Simson and Charlie Brittain, this is an invitation into rigorous, poetic and life-affirming practice.
💫 Open level
For dancers, movers, health practitioners — and anyone curious to explore through the body.
