Tuning in Movement
Exploring perception, presence and form through embodied movement practices
Exploring perception, presence and form through embodied movement practices

Our body, whether simply breathing, responding to practical needs, or navigating complex experiences, is inevitably and constantly in motion. In the Meditative Movement workshops, we focus on this intrinsic movement – from the flow of breath to subtle, sophisticated bodily dynamics – as a foundation for artistic inquiry.
We engage with the body as an instrument of perception and creation, observing how presence, attention, and intentionality give rise to movement. In this practice, we do not follow choreography imposed from outside, nor do we drift into improvisation without structure. Instead, we cultivate a space where movement unfolds organically, guided by inner awareness, intention, and interaction. Story, meaning, and form arise from within, revealing sequences that are at once deeply personal and universally resonant.
The work spans ceremonial, ritualistic, primitive, natural, expressive, and narrative-inspired movement, demanding focus, attention, and responsiveness to both self and others in the group. Through this process, the body becomes both medium and collaborator, revealing movement as a form of artistic exploration, a language of perception, and a method of creative investigation.
Just like in Meditative Art workshops, these sessions are structured in levels. Participants may begin with foundational aspects of movement and gradually progress into deeper, more intricate explorations. Each individual is encouraged to move at their own pace, fully engaging with each level before advancing.
Ultimately, this practice invites participants to discover the expressive and perceptive potential of the body -- and, at times, its performative dimension -- though this is not always necessary — turning movement itself into an art, and the act of being fully present into a creative discipline.
Note: This practice—like the "Tuning Practice" Workshops — serves as a behind-the-scenes attunement training for art sudents and others working creatively, helping them cultivate awareness, sensitivity, and presence to bring into their own work, while remaining open to participants of all backgrounds who are curious and engaged.
