Improvisation - movement in the present moment, at the core of truth. Dance is not only motion; it is a dialogue between body, mind and spirit.
We release the need to “do things correctly” and rediscover the pleasure of simply being, moving, and experiencing. Music carries its own soul and its own story. We do not merely dance to music - we dance what we feel within it. It becomes an invisible dialogue between the body and sound.
For me, improvisation is not just a game or a technique. It is the heart of creation - a fire that ignites from within. My strong emotions, questions, inner conflicts, and sensitivities are the fuel that drives the body to move, to search, to express and to create.
They are not obstacles, but sources of power that nourish the mind and inspire transformation - becoming who I truly am. The body never lies.
When I improvise, I do not perform. I exist - present and honest. Movement does not emerge from choreography, but from within. It can arise from the soul, memory, joy, pain or from listening to silence and emptiness.
Through improvisation, new forms are born: an organic choreographic language, a performative world that speaks truth through the body and self-awareness rooted in presence and movement.
In practice, this means:
When working with improvisation, we engage in:
– creative tasks and somatic awareness exercises,
– exploring shapes, rhythm, levels and imaginative landscapes,
– experimenting with contact improvisation by working in pairs, listening and responding to another body,
– learning to listen to music and translate its emotional qualities through movement,
– moving with the rhythm - or against it - according to what the moment calls for,
– practicing exercises that guide us from fear toward joy and from self-criticism toward self-trust.

Improvisation teaches:
– how to be present without control,
– how to feel without censorship,
– how to create without limitation,
– and how to transform - naturally, playfully, freely.

It is the most direct way of being who you are.
