About The Event
BODY MOVEMENT AND LANGUAGE
You have been moving your whole life. But have you ever really felt your body?
Nivara x Theatrewala brings a 3-hour intensive Body Movement and Language workshop to Bengaluru, designed to help participants develop greater physical awareness, presence, coordination and freedom of movement.
Our everyday lives often leave us disconnected from our bodies. We sit, scroll, carry stress and repeat the same physical patterns without noticing them.
This workshop creates a practical space to reconnect with the body through playful, primal and freeing movement practices. Participants will explore movement as a language of awareness, confidence, expression and performance.
The session is practical, interactive and process-driven, with guided exercises that encourage participants to observe, experience and understand their own bodies rather than simply learn movement techniques.
