Kokyu – breath that moves
The Japanese word “kokyu” means “correct breathing flowing from the body”. This concept is the foundation of Studio Kokyu’s work, which combines movement, aikido, and theater practices.
During the workshop, we will focus on breath, physical and vocal expression, the dynamics of contact, and community. It is also an opportunity to discover how these aspects of bodily experience influence our everyday lives.
The workshop is dedicated to people interested in working with movement, breathing, and voice. It is not a strictly theatrical workshop, its aim is to deepen bodily awareness and strengthen the practice of mindfulness in action.
