In shades of violet and rose, three scenes capture moments of shared movement and quiet connection—bodies reaching, leaning, and listening across space.

Is spoken language used in the performance? If so, which one?
The workshop will be held in spoken English and German. Questions for clarification can also be asked in German. Most of the tasks are communicated verbally.
OSF is deeply rooted in, and fluidly expanded from Skinner Releasing TechniqueTM (SRT), Open Source Forms is about cross-fertilizations and deep commonalities of SRT and creative process: shedding outer layers, finding primal energy, agility navigating subconscious realms, and imagery as powerful tool for transformation.
