Workshop: Land Inside
10am - 5pmUniverse 9, Hergiswil and Dreilindenpark, Luzern, Switzerland
In this two-day workshop led by Dana and Shinichi Iova-Koga we will develop qualities of movement, our connection to the ground and how the shifting of our axis and body center brings motion. We will work both indoors, (at Universe 9 in Hergiswil) to focus on the internal dynamics of the body, as well as outdoors (Dreilindenpark in Luzern) to experience the connection between our bodies and the diverse textures of a natural landscape. All ages and levels of experience welcome. All that is required is curiosity and the willingness to get some earth on you.

Protean Progressions and Stillness in Dynamic
TBASüdpol, Kriens, Switzerland
These two classes, let by Sherwood Chen and Shinichi Iova-Koga, include training across the floor to develop kinesthetic, motor and sensorial awareness, studies in scale and rhythm and exercises to heighten physical and mental receptivity, soft tissue development and awareness of minute interior textures. We cultivate a grain of stillness within our minds as the improvisation gallops around in capricious directions. Bring your curiosity, your inquisitive body, and prepare to sweat. -

Fifth Storm
8:00pmCounterPulse, SF
Fifth Storm is the fifth experiment, the fifth investigation in the creation of The Storm in My House. This work concerns the precarious position artists, and all of us, maintain in the face of social upheaval, economic inequality, displacement, and deterioration of the social safety net; bodies experiencing crisis and humor; recorded voices of those who struggle for food and shelter; an excavation of the perceived lines between any two of us.
RSVP HERE for your free ticket.

Workshop: Winter Intensive
9:00uhr - 16:00uhrUniverse 9, Hergiswil, Switzerland
Led by Shinichi and Dana Iova-Koga, this will be a unique training opportunity, a chance to train, develop and articulate your abilities, awareness and possibilities as a human, mover or performer. Participants are invited to make significant and lasting improvements to mobility, perception and compositional awareness.
Participants will train 5 days a week (Saturday and Sunday off), 5 hours per day from December 9 to March 3 (with 2 holiday breaks) in a studio at the base of Mt. Pilatus, at Lake Luzern in Switzerland.
We hone internal sensibilities and physical expression. We work with physical/psychological risk and embodied images to redraw and refine the body map. This training requires a strong commitment of body/mind and time.
