What to expect in a Movement Class with Tiago?

Exposing the body to unknown situations, chaos and complexity that are transformative to the moment and structure. In this confrontation, we learn to deal with the inter-connectivity of seeing and doing, doing and feeling, feeling and being through paradigms, questions and puzzles while creating situations of mobility, organic strength, balance, coordination or locomotion. As a whole, the practice of Movement creates and shapes forms of global development of a body that moves in an increasingly intelligent - and above all - human way.
