Madame Irma

Renaissance and medieval dances are a particular mixture of dance and theater, they often show us that gestures associated with gender rolls might not have always been as they are today. We will use ancient music and explore some traditional dancing steps to create a fantasy/cross-dressing ballroom in a playful, carnival like, and flirtatious atmosphere. We will not focus in learning long codified sequences, but rather in building a group connection, and a playground where we can improvise and have fun with the joy and the curiosity of a child who uses movement to discover and to develop life.

D. in the field of plant molecular biology; during the last 25 years Miguel has practiced several body work techniques like Tai Chi, Chi Kung, Yoga, Feldenkreis, eutonie and dance. A certified Tai Chi instructor from l'école de la voie intérieure; he has been teaching this internal martial art for the last 15 years. Furthermore exploring other healing tools like Tarot, alchemy, spagyrics, alchemical bone structure (SOA), kinesiology, and tantric massage, have helped him to build up a personal paradigm where different aspects of his own experience can                 co-exist and interact.
