Practice

Idea: To establish a new kind of training structure for dancers, martial arts athletes, climbers, physiotherapists and all professionals, non-professionals and everyone in between and beyond who are interested in moving better, learning better and exploring and creating new directions and contexts.

Background: Our practice is based on the ideas and methods of Fighting Monkey Practice which is developed by founders Jozef Frucek and Linda Kapetanea through a deep study of cross motion analysis, and with the aim of understanding principles of human movement, communication and the ageing process. See www.fightingmonkey.net for more information on Fighting Monkey.

Furthermore, our practice is based on our research in educational sciences, sports pedagogics, dramaturgy and contemporary dance and circus practices.

Implementation: We see that mind and body should not be treated as separate units. Therefore our practice is often physical. The activities take place regularly in Helsinki and we also have small intensive courses.
