Playful Movement for creativity and problem solving

Creativity is like a cat: It does, what it wants. One moment: Cuddle! Next moment: A great, slightly red fine art tattoo on your fore arm.

All we can do is to create the conditions for creativity to happen. And it starts in our bodies and nervous systems. That's what this movement session is designed for. Principles from martial arts, soft and flow acrobatics, animal locomotion and free form dance will be used to loosen up the body, circulate blood without exhausting the body, mobilise the major joint complexes, including the spine and most of all: Enjoy and have fun.

Overthinking over board! Heya!

Here's a rough structure:

• 15 min: settling in, grounding the nervous system
• 40 min: flowing movement sequences (mobility, improvisation, dance-inspired play)
• 20 min: integration, reflection, takeaways
• 15 min: Q&A, practical movement tools to take home

Good blood flow and mobility in the body are key conditions for creative thinking and problem-solving. This movement practice creates the physical prerequisites, the conditions in the body, so creativity can happen and new approaches to a situation can emerge on their own.

The key point: Participants will engage in a practice that intends to be fun and joyful. The outcome is more a by-product of the practice. The aim is to move with joy and in connection.
