[WORKSHOPS]

MNEMT classes are divided in three sections:

Preparation, Laboratory and Reviewing.

During the Preparation, the participants are guided to listen and re- discover their body with a combination of original exercises and concepts from Pilates, GyrokinesisŪ and Yoga. This section of the class is also dedicated to familiarize with the space and other participants in order to strengthen self-confidence and creativity.

The Laboratory consists of "explorations", "suggested conflicts" and "experiments".

  • Through the "Exploration" of Mime, Voice, Color work and Music, students are exposed to different forms of expression and dynamics of movement.
  • "Suggested conflicts" exercises are designed to stimulate emotional impulses. Given a conflict, participants task is to transform their emotional reaction into movement.
  • "Experiments" are the most creative part of the laboratory. Given a theme or a structure, students are asked to interact in couple or group improvisations. The unknown aspect of the exercises, often leads to unique movement, interesting positions and relationships.

Reviewing is a very personal time during which every student rehears and perform a physical sequence using the material from one or more exercises.

Every class ends with a Discussion Circle where participants can ask questions, share comments and powerful moments experienced during the day.
