Playfight
Somatic play through contact, movement and physical dialogue. Explore boundaries, trust, resistance, collaboration and presence without competition.
Encounter is physical
Presence under pressure
There is a dance inside a playfight: shifts of weight, momentum, giving way, approaching, retreating. Sometimes the most interesting thing is doing less. No winner, no prescribed technique, no destination. Contact becomes a conversation in which both people can listen, refuse, invite, resist, soften and change direction. We use games and improvisation, always within agreed boundaries and with the possibility to stop.
The invitation is to stay fluid rather than win: to explore the space between confrontation and collaboration, strength and sensitivity, closeness and distance. One-to-one sessions, couples and private groups are available by request.

Presence Remains
Personal development and the practice of presence through movement and encounter
Coming back soon · A three-hour experiential workshop
What
A three-hour experiential workshop connecting play, dance, martial arts, mindfulness and relationship practice. At its centre is one clear practice: presence. How do you stay here when tension, closeness, conflict or uncertainty arise?
How
Through guided group and partner exercises: movement games, physical dialogues, conscious confrontation and collaboration, simple tools (balls, sticks and ropes), and moments of quiet perception. Rather than talking about connection, we experience connection, boundaries and resonance.
Why
To sense yourself more clearly, meet others more authentically and remain present in intense moments. For greater inner steadiness, more alive relationships and embodied confidence.
For whom
For people curious about movement and awareness, couples, coaches, therapists, performers, facilitators, and anyone working with people or groups.
Duration
3 hours
Questions, answered
Is Playfight competitive fighting?
No. There is no winner, opponent to defeat or prescribed outcome. Contact is a conversation through movement.
What actually happens in a session?
A guided physical exploration of movement, resistance, approach, retreat, breath, play and pauses, adapted to the people present.
Can I stop or change my mind?
At any moment. Consent, a clear stop signal and the freedom to decline contact are integral to the practice.
Do I need to be strong, fit or experienced?
No. The work is adjusted to the participants. You can move gently, pause or explore intensity within agreed boundaries.
Is there dance in Playfight?
Yes. Shifts of weight, rhythm, spirals, yielding, balance and improvisation are central. The movement can be subtle, playful or vigorous.
Can I come with my partner?
Yes. Couples may request a private experience. The format and price are agreed individually.
Do you offer one-to-one sessions?
Yes. Private Playfight / Somatic Play sessions are available by request: CHF 220 for two hours per person.
When is the next group workshop?
The three-hour Presence Remains group workshop is coming back soon. No date is announced yet.
How is this related to Sharing Circle?
Sharing Circle explores relationship agreements through language and conversation. Here, listening, yes, no and negotiation are investigated through the body.
Is Playfight therapy?
No. It is an experiential movement and relationship practice, not a substitute for clinical or psychological care.
Neither movement nor mastery is a finish line. The name Movement Masterclass refers to the attention we bring to practice, not a destination, rank or permanent state. Explore the philosophy ↗
