The Research / Method: "Healing via Movement & Joy" "Healing via Movement & Joy" is a movement practice designed to explore the healing potential of dance and improvisation. Rooted in years of experience in dance, movement therapy, yoga, and the Gaga movement language, this method uses improvisation as the main tool to reconnect with the body and bring joy through movement. The method is accessible to all, regardless of experience or body type, and focuses on awakening the body and mind through movement. It explores the relationship between pleasure, effort, and sensation, where movement becomes a gateway to healing. The practice combines aerobic and anaerobic movements to create a balanced approach that supports both physical and emotional well-being. Music, movement therapy, and mindful practices play a central role in this work, guiding participants to feel a deeper connection to their bodies. Through improvisation-based exercises, the body is encouraged to move freely, tapping into instincts, creativity, and joy. Each class starts with a warm-up that ignites the senses and prepares the body for deeper exploration. From there, participants engage in layered tasks that challenge their movement skills, lines, and groove, helping them break free from limitations and discover new ways of moving. The method is designed not only to release tension but also to explore how to treat the body with care and awareness. The final part of each session focuses on mindfulness and relaxation, allowing the body to ground and integrate the sensations experienced throughout the practice. By the end, participants leave with a sense of joy, vitality, and greater body awareness—feeling empowered and more connected to themselves. "Healing via Movement & Joy" is an invitation to rediscover the joy of movement, using dance as a tool for healing, creativity, and overall well-being.

- 'Are you coming to my payjama party' | Laura Guy
'Are you coming to my pyjama party' by Laura Guy Are You Coming to My Pyjama Party? is a choreographic exploration of collective vulnerability, emotional excess, and the cultural codes of intimacy among female-identifying bodies. Blending strength with softness, chaos with stillness, and physical rigor with moments of deep reflection, the piece invites the audience into a world that feels at once domestic and sacred. Rooted in sensations of hygge (warmth, coziness) and gourmandise (pleasure, indulgence), it celebrates fleeting moments of closeness — the tenderness of sleepovers, the messiness of womanhood, the beauty of unfiltered emotion. Through a tapestry of unison and individuality, the choreography reimagines femininity in all its contrasts: gentle yet wild, still yet intense, collective yet deeply personal. Visually inspired by Baroque and Neoclassical portraiture — from Artemisia Gentileschi’s Judith and Her Maidservant and Elisabetta Sirani’s Portia Wounding Her Thigh to works by Ingres and Godward — the performers embody these images as living tableaux: moments of breath-held stillness set against extremes of physicality. In close proximity to the audience, without direct interaction, the performers create an intimate, atmospheric world where connection, vulnerability, and the chaos of togetherness can unfold.

I think there was a different spark at Crear than at the gala. It's an amazing work because it connects with everyday life and at the same time with the technical aspects, very well-achieved images with such simplicity. What I liked most was seeing a generation committed to Contemporary Dance, which breathes within that technique. Bodies that have a search with language, and I am faced with the following question: the body houses so many memories and gestures, habits and small rituals, both individual and collective, and you, masters of the scene, with such delicacy, subtlety and skill, knew how to combine and compose, from this language that many times in other works (and not in this case, I clarify) others take elements from other techniques, leaving aside contemporary research. I was delighted to see the evolution and the choreographic progression and the body trained from a sensitive place. Infinite gratitude for allowing us to see the mastery of this piece and I hope there will be more soon. Written by; Alejandro Villamayor (Visual artist, Dancer, Choreographer and Art critic) Personal Written Messages by the Audience: Wendy Ritter - Visual artist and circus artist. How beautiful it wassssss. I got very emotional. Lovely presentation. Congratulations!!!! Cynthia Encina The piece is so fun. I loved it! I found the play super fun and fresh! Far from the drama that is usually found in contemporary films, I loved the female narrative where they gave importance to interactions and relationships that are normally undervalued in society, and I loved seeing girls with diverse bodies expressing all of that beautifully. Paola Ferraro - Dance artist. Its a piece that is nice to see.

Rooted in years of experience in dance, movement therapy, yoga, and the Gaga movement language, this method uses improvisation as the main tool to reconnect with the body and bring joy through movement. The method is accessible to all, regardless of experience or body type, and focuses on awakening the body and mind through movement. It explores the relationship between pleasure, effort, and sensation, where movement becomes a gateway to healing. The practice combines aerobic and anaerobic movements to create a balanced approach that supports both physical and emotional well-being. Music, movement therapy, and mindful practices play a central role in this work, guiding participants to feel a deeper connection to their bodies. Through improvisation-based exercises, the body is encouraged to move freely, tapping into instincts, creativity, and joy. Each class starts with a warm-up that ignites the senses and prepares the body for deeper exploration. From there, participants engage in layered tasks that challenge their movement skills, lines, and groove, helping them break free from limitations and discover new ways of moving. The method is designed not only to release tension but also to explore how to treat the body with care and awareness. The final part of each session focuses on mindfulness and relaxation, allowing the body to ground and integrate the sensations experienced throughout the practice. By the end, participants leave with a sense of joy, vitality, and greater body awareness—feeling empowered and more connected to themselves. "Healing via Movement & Joy" is an invitation to rediscover the joy of movement, using dance as a tool for healing, creativity, and overall well-being.

I found myself looking beyond the obvious; every gesture seemed to carry a story, an inner impulse. There was something very honest about that body in motion, something intimate that pierced me without words." Glo M.Morel, PY The solo shows an interesting and moving plasticity in the soloist body and ways to get to interpretations. Lots of contrasts that makes the piece a dynamic work sustained between images. Her dance creates and the sonority is supporting the actions towards it.
