Play-Fight / Liquid Body / Formless Art
Play-Fight is a self-empowering physical practice that weaves together elements from various dancing styles, capoeira and russian martial art systema. The exploration goes beyond the fringes of mere physicality. Play-Fight carries the potential to be a” life practice”, as often been portrait by participants, for acknowledging and including a myriad aspects in human interactions and expressions. Apart from developing instinctual intelligence as well as flexible and strong bodies, we learn how to keep a calm and resilient mind under controlled stress-induced events. The embodiment of principles of non-resistance and non-violence is at the top of all achievements allowing us to go back to the flow, our original state of being.
