Kinesthetic perception refers to the ability to sense and regulate the position, movement, tension, and exertion of one’s own body parts – that is, muscles, tendons, and joints – even without visual feedback. It is a component of proprioception, enables spatial coordination, and plays a central role in learning movements.
Through kinesthetically oriented improvisation, the workshop invites participants to discover the body’s diverse capabilities, the interpersonal power of movement, and their own deep sensitivity, which is shaped by various forms of interaction. In this process, the information from the inner body receptors does not come from the outside, but simultaneously enables and enhances both unconscious and conscious control and regulation of movements.
In the “Beginners of All Ages” workshop, exercises and games stimulate intuition and spontaneity and create space for playful and responsive movement.
