Inclusion is really not about inclusion, it’s a conscious practice of non-exclusion. If you have ever felt unwelcome or the odd one out in any social situation, you probably understand what this really means. Your choice to attend something, a lot of times, can depend more on what’s not there rather than what’s there. And the tiny detail that’s not there, in some cases, reads louder than all the perks that have been listed. That detail call out as an “un-invite” rather than an “invite”.

In this weekend workshop, we will explore the art of acting on the Playback stage. Often, Playback actors simply show, illustrate or amplify the actions, facts, thoughts and feelings described by the teller. Those techniques alone rarely deliver a transformative experience.

During this training we will learn the basic skills of Playback Theatre, to be ready to perform as an actor on stage. Our main tools will be our body, voice and creativity. Playback Theatre can be practiced by everyone, as it’s based on spontaneous movement and sound, not on previous acting experience.

5Rhythms Sweat w/Nirvana in Eressos from May to July

In this 2-day workshop we will learn how to listen more deeply, with our whole body, in order to find in it the right input to give an appropriate response to a story. When we truly listen, when we are open to receive the resonance from our senses, our playback performance can only be true, spontaneous and genuine.

Once we learn how to truly listen, the confusion around the boundaries of stories disappears.

Our bodies know.

5Rhythms Sweat w/Nirvana in Eressos: Saturdays 12 PM: March 23, April 6 and 20, May 4

In questo workshop esploreremo la struttura del rituale, ripulendola e chiarendo cosa ne faccia parte e cosa no. Poi, ci dedicheremo a rompere i nostri rituali personali, trovando nuove forme espressive e ad individuare le tradizioni da mantenere, rinfrescando il nostro rapporto con il Playback.

Dedicheremo una parte del weekend alla supervisione e vedremo come il rituale possa esserci d’aiuto nel trovare risposta alle nostre domande. Porta la tua!

Il Mercoledì 21 febbraio e il Venerdì 1 Marzo 2024 - 5Ritmi ad Harmonia! due Sessioni di 5Ritmi Sweat - danza e movimento consapevole con Nirvana, Insegnante di 5Ritmi in formazione.

The Listening Hour is an hour in which we meet to share our personal stories and to listen to others’. The whole process is facilitated by a Guide, who at the end weaves together all the stories in a common narration. By highlighting the common meaning of the stories, the Guide links our experiences suggesting that my story is your story too. As a result, we often feel belonging, connected, filled with meaning and whole.

This two day workshop will give participants insights and skills that can be applied while responding to the social dimensions of stories.

We will also explore our own layers of bias and identity and the relevance of this work in company life and in building partnerships with organisations who seek a more socially just world.

A 3 day journey into the joy of creativity. An opportunity to awaken your energy and relax in the creative flow. Embody your totality and spontaneous being through painting, music and dancing. Exploring the creative process like we do, is an active -and yet relaxed- way of experiencing meditation, with the right support and no goals.

This course is a good chance for beginners who want to learn more about Playback Theatre as well as for intermediate or advanced practitioners who want to experiment more, go deeper and challenge their creativity.

This event is a two-days intensive Playback Theatre workshop where we are going to play with our creativity, exploring physical and vocal expression and reconnecting with our spontaneity.

In such complex times, we may feel easily emotional: sometimes it is hard to hold on to something stable when everything around us is going fast and constantly changing. The practice of conscious theatrical improvisation allows us to discover our true self, the part of us that is authentic and not ever changing according to the circumstances. Our center, our heart.

During this 5 afternoons we will let colours take over, allowing mind, body and soul to dissolve while being guided throughout the creative journey. There will be dancing, painting and relaxation.

Rediscovering Spontaneity is a 3-days intensive group where we will reconnect with our natural way of expressing ourselves, through the use of Playback Theatre.

This is an amazing, yet very simple, improv technique that creates an atmosphere of safety, trust and intimacy where we can easily open up and express ourselves freely.
