This six-session series invites participants into a playful, improvisational exploration of the body in space, guided by the foundational principles of the UNFOLD® method — itself grounded in the principles of the Alexander Technique.
In each 1.5-hour session, participants explore the body through gentle mobilisation and movement sequences that support well-coordinated, healthy physicality — in dance and in daily life — sharpening self-awareness, reconnecting with their own physicality, and taking time to explore anatomy through embodied experience.
Working with UNFOLD®’s Movement Mapping Principles, the group builds a clear understanding of its own posture and a shared vocabulary for refining movement.
Through offered movement sequences and improvised material, participants awaken their own playfulness and joy and get in touch with an endless source of creativity.
For whom?
The work brings the physical and emotional richness of the moving body to everyone — dancers and non-dancers alike, actors and performers included.
About the UNFOLD® method:
The UNFOLD® method was founded in 2019 by Valentina Bordenave, a dancer, choreographer, and a certified Alexander Technique teacher with over 30 years of experience as a dance and movement teacher. Her work rests on three pillars: dismantling unwanted habitual patterns, nurturing a sustainable creative practice, and cultivating a healthy, aware relationship to body and mind.
UNFOLD® draws on the Alexander Technique as one of its foundations, while also weaving in Valentina’s own background in dance and movement — a springboard toward greater balance, coordination, and connection with the present moment.
Through a psychophysical dialogue with one’s own support and movement systems, body-mind connectivity improves, and postural and movement habits begin to change. At this new level of alertness and mechanical efficiency, one’s relationship to lightness, gravity, space, time, and creativity is redefined.
The sessions are accessible to beginners as well as experienced movers. As the work involves active, floor-based, and standing movement, participants should be in general good physical health.
Anyone with acute injuries, recent surgery, or conditions affecting balance or joint mobility should consult their doctor before joining, and may want to speak with the facilitators beforehand.
Price:
🔸Discovery Session: 22€ (single session, no commitment)
🔸Continue afterwards (Weeks 2–6): 98€
🔸Complete course (6 weeks, paid upfront): 110€
Because each session builds on the previous one, we encourage participants to commit to the full journey from the start. For those who'd like to try a single session first, the first week can be taken on its own before deciding whether to continue.
