Body and wellbeing, with Grace Hall

Feminine Spirit Alchemy

A weekend workshop that uses burlesque, an art between dance and theatre, as a creative and liberating game: physical and mental tools to inhabit your own body, quiet the mind and rediscover an authentic language of expression. For women of every age, size and profession.

Through practices such as movement isolation, eye contact, breath and the irony of the tease, you come to accept and love your own body. Building a theatrical alter ego becomes the mirror for exploring parts of yourself that have remained unexplored, in a programme that celebrates the uniqueness of each woman with lightness, trust and presence.
