His practice explores how bodies speak, listen, and negotiate through movement, especially in moments of support, weight sharing, and collective decision-making. He is interested in how physical interaction can cultivate responsibility, care, and shared agency.

Stella

Stella’s work is rooted in lived, embodied experiences that open space for connection, for questioning norms, and for discovering one’s own way of being—held through mutual support and resonance.
Ecosomatics, Butoh, Contact Improvisation, and body- and breathwork are the practices through which I continue this research and share it with others walking a similar path.

Nakula

Facilitator and Mentor

Nakula has always enjoyed movement from the time he started learning how to cycle. 

He frequently works on compositions with children to create material. These come to them while they play,through watching each other and from mimicking movements of animals. It is good to source dances, shapes, and sounds from  spaces  which they are familiar and have grown up with.

He strives to create liminal spaces that facilitate collaborative group work balanced with the sacredness of deep individual work. From playing multiple roles in film production houses to performing and creating live immersive theatre, he keeps experimenting ways in which he can dialogue with the audience.
