The Indulge the Movement classes by Elina Pirinen invite you to explore the pleasures of deep joy, wildness, transgression and emancipation inscribed to internal fantasies through physical work.
The course explores what it means when the body comes out of the body – in a variety of forms, minds, aesthetics, colours, events, situations, temperaments and subjective and collective experiences. The curious psychodynamics of the human body are approached through improvisatory and duration-based motion and sound exercises intended to sensitize the anatomy and result in individual, personal dances and celebration of the physical enjoyed both together and alone.
