Resonant Body

Resonant Body Training is a holistic physical and vocal practice that incorporates various methods such as Butoh dance, improvisation, and contemporary dance. Each session begins with the 'Djalma Warm-up,' an energetic cleansing ritual aimed at shaking off unnecessary tensions and bringing the body and mind into the present moment through the connection between breath and movement. The second part includes somatic and dance improvisation exercises, where the relationship between breath, voice, language, and movement is playfully explored. Working with the voice involves exploring its various dimensions, while language serves to set the mind in motion and unleash creative potential.

The word 'Djalma' is derived from Javanese and means 'Metamorphosis.'
