Was ist um meinen Körper herum? Zwischen deinem Körper und meinem? Reagiert, interagiert, expandiert, kontrahiert dieses Feld? Warum verschließe ich mich, wenn sich einige Leute nähern, oder öffne mich um anderen zu begegnen? Nach der Verwendung von Mudras und balinesischen Techniken zur Einstellung auf das Unsichtbare werden wir das Bewusstsein unserer eigenen Pulsation in der Selbsterforschung erhöhen. Dann werden wir mit Partnern interagieren und den subtilen Fluss erforschen, der von uns und anderen ausgeht. Dieser Workshop beinhaltet Nacktheit ohne körperlichen Kontakt und ermöglicht es uns, die
Stärke der energetischen Interaktion zu entdecken.

What is around my body? Between your body and mine? Is this field reacting, interacting, expanding, contracting? Why do I shut down when some people are approaching, or open myself to face others? After using mudras and Balinese techniques to tune to the invisible, we will increase the consciousness of our own pulsation in self exploration. Then, interacting with partners, we will explore the subtle flow emanating from us and others. This workshop includes nudity without physical contact and enables us to discover the strength of energetic interaction.

In each gay venue you will find men checking each other out, assessing each others’ attractiveness and market value in a split second. This fast automatic response keeps us caught in (often unconscious) stereotyping based on body type, race, age and other factors. While body shaming and racism are often challenged these days, our ideas about age are rarely examined and addressed. The judgements we make about other gay men, based on age, often feel like absolute truths. But at the same time they are not so fixed at all:  they change considerably as we gain life experience. In this Ritual, we walk up and down on a timeline, from being a little boy till a mature old man, and back. We will see the other men walk as well, simultaneously, each in their own rhythm: men younger than us, men older than us. Seeing each other go through their different life phases while we ourselves are moving in and out different life phases as well, we become each others’ mirror. We will see the gifts each place brings, and see the price we have to pay as well.

Do you also sometimes get the impression of rushing through life? So why not calm down for a bit and take time to care for yourself, exploring your body with a sense of curiosity and playfulness? We will start with a flow of an easy Yin Yoga practice today to bring our attention inward and to notice what our body wants to tell us. A guided meditation will follow to give you the opportunity to process your experience. The slow paced practice will mainly be seated or lying down. Closed eyes and nudity can help you to focus all of your senses inside. Just listen to your body and do what feels right to you. (Please bring your sheet/towel)

Through bodywork and active meditation we will prepare to connect to our own flow and explore what needs attention, care, love and healing in regards to our Eros. Together we will do several exercises, like holding, listening, caressing, erotic touching etc. to help each other process, accept, embrace and celebrate our sensual being. Healing shame, insecurity, pain, addiction etc. through the qualities of forgiveness, abundance, balance, harmony, gratitude and joy. It is our birthright to be free, to express our sexuality, to feel alive, to feel sensual, to play and to celebrate our tribe of rainbow-warriors. This is a nudity positive workshop in which respect and care for one another are basic ingredients.

A space where we will explore -

Body shame, failure, taboos, nudity, our authentic voice and sexual selves.

Orbiting vulnerability, play, touch, edges/boundaries and animalisticness through experimental ritual. All explored in a fun, creative, non-judgmental supportive container. It may end up in a heart centered self compassionate, healing sex-magic masterbation meditation (depending on the vibes). Please bring a towel :)

This two hour long exploration fuses elements of honest communication, movement, sounds, play and witnessing before shifting into an open space of unpredictable relational and communal composition.

Vogue-Chi is a dynamic, self-affirming, meditative movement practice incorporating principles of both Tai-Chi and Vogue/Ballroom – a spectrum of dance styles and theatrical formats inspired by fashion, consolidated during the 80's in New York by Black and Latinx LGBT people –. Vogue-Chi uses cat walking, voguing vocabulary, learning how to use energy via word reclamation, bending of social performativities, among other tools historically developed by queer people to engage positively in life and overcome institutionalized oppression, invisibilization and abuse. Vogue-Chi was initially developed with/for people 50+ y/o, but rapidly became OPEN FOR ALL. Vogue-Chi is a multigenerational queer and allies safe space for self-expression and coming together. No previous experience is required.

In this workshop we will move, step by step, towards a beautiful, naked, sensual, durational massage event. We seek to create an arena of non-attachment, where we serenely glide through a ‘car wash’ of sensuality, a space where we can can open ourselves to the pleasure of different roles, both the giving and  receiving of sensual touch. Individual boundaries are indicated and observed as well as a commitment to support and be aware of the flow of energy within the group. (Please note that for the majority of the workshop we will be standing and please bring a large towel.

Participating in an orgy may be a common fantasy, but how does it relate to the actual situation of being in a space with others, not all of whom one is attracted to equally, and how does one create the time and space to respect everybody's boundaries? We'll look at choreographic practices such as REFLECTION, COMPOSITION, & COLLABORATION. We’ll also consider the space itself as a active agent. This workshop is intended for those interested in dance, conscious sexuality, and seeing things from different perspectives.

“Serio” is Colombian gay slang for “straight acting” and is used disdainfully as the opposite of effeminate, queer, faggot or sissy. “Muy” is an intensifying adverb with a strong “camp” potential.

In the "Muy Serio" series, dance artist Carlos Maria Romero uses traditional pieces of masculine clothing as the sculpting material for a variety of performative acts de/re/constructing masculinity.

P Dance takes as starting point the folk dance and costume of “Careto”, a pagan traditional rite of passage from boyhood to manhood existing since medieval agrarian cultures in Portugal.

P Dance is a contemporary performance that addresses nowadays reflections towards the old tradition wile re-producing knowledge about desire, labor, identity and community. Constantly transitioning between a “found“ archive of male social dance patterns, the naked male body is presented as a screen for communal projections.
