Workshop: Movement Composition Laboratory - Valentina Gaia Lops

Movement Composition Laboratory Workshop with Valentina Gaia Lops

About the event:

This workshop is geared for anyone interested in movement composition. We will do exercises focused on the perception of our body and on conscious listening to the other through non-verbal language.
