Art of Movement - From Play Fight To Rough Body Play (mixed)

For many people playing is connected to a variety of implements, rules and, in a certain sense, distant forms of interaction. Play fight and Rough Body Play differ from thaty as they cut away all of the above and just put you and your partner in direct interaction with each other. Use your body in a vastly different way than usual. Time to get primal and rough.

Joanna and Maxim are experienced players and will provide you with knowledge and perspective(s) on Rough Body Play, Play fights and all the spectrum in between.

The workshop will cover:

• ideas of how RBP and PF differ and might interact at the same time

• techniques such as: beating, slapping, kicking & holds

• consent, safety, negotiations

• loads space & time to experiment hands-on training (literally).

In order to participate:

Please assess your body abilities and health situation thoroughly. RBP can be an intense experience, both physically and mentally and only you can estimate if this is right for you. While we cover safety aspects everything at the event happens at your own risk. Ideally you are open to experience both sides of RBP as well as interact with others as this is not mainly a couples event.

What to bring:

sports wear or other flexible/comfortable clothes, ideally covering elbows and knees to avoid „mat burn“. Keep in mind that sometimes clothes get destroyed by accident. A change of clothes as well as a towel or two are also needed.

Further information:

•You do not need prior experience to participate.

•You do not need to bring a partner to participate but you can, if you like.

•You should be comfortable with interacting with other people for exercises.
