This is a full day movement workshop for dancers and non-dancers organized by Alvin Collantes accumulating three main sections to explore many ways the body can move, the ever growing awareness & healing aspects it brings to the body and the celebration of community through shared stories & personal experiences. 

My name is Alvin Collantes. I teach Gaga all over Berlin in main dance studios including Tanzfabrik, Marameo and Dock11. It's been quite a life-changing experience to be able to share the beautiful movement language over the last year. I am dedicating this workshop to celebrate the many pleasurable moments I have spent with you in the studio.

I am currently fund-raising for the next chapter of my life. I plan to move to Israel to be with my partner and to keep growing as a Gaga teacher. The proceeds for this workshop will simply go towards this next chapter. 

There is a chance that this is my last workshop before summer. I will be gone starting April to travel for two months in Asia. And then I will be back June/July to teach. There is a chance that by then I will move to Israel. So I hope you can share with me in this workshop and celebrate the wonderful times we had in the last year!

SCHEDULE:

10:00 - 11:15 - Gaga/people class

Gaga classes are predicated on a deep listening to the body and to physical sensations. The instructions are deployed to increase awareness of and further amplify sensation, and rather than turning from one prompt to another, information is layered, building into a multisensory, physically challenging experience. 

11:15 - 11:30 - Break

11:30- 12:30 - "Form, Force & Freedom"

The research of welcoming the sense of feeling free while being completely aware of what the body is doing, what gestures we are making, how much volume we are using. Can we find a lot of freedom inside a moment that is very exact? Can we be very clear in what our bodies are saying while still searching for openness, availability, and liberation?

12:30 - 13:30 - "Listen, Flow & Let Go"

The research of how we can be sensitive to the people around us and how we can let go of things that cause blockages through softness, agility and the power of delicacy. We dive into this vulnerable process and together we can learn how to heal through letting go.

13:30 - 14:00 - Break

14:00 - 15:00 - "Passion, Play & Pleasure"

The research of discovering how to bring pleasure in a physical way, how it allows us to make way for pleasure to bleed into our passions, to use it in moments when we are at best challenged. We learn how to bring joy into our bodies to reflect on how we can bring joy into our lives.
