The number of places is limited. The workshop will be conducted in English. Starting from the rhythm that is already within us, our steps, our heartbeat and our ears, we will be questioning the basis of our perception, our ability to coordinate our body parts and the role of the mind within this process, by entering simple rhythmical patterns in various ways. Confronting our current habits, musical sensitivity and the rational understanding of rhythms, we aim to to strengthen our consciousness and ability to wander freely in the world of rhythm.
