2-Day Movement Workshop

BODY TERRAIN: Soft-Acrobatics • Balance • Organic Strength

Taught by tiago Martins Co-Founder of Movement Lisboa & Porto, Portugal

21.11.-22.11.2026

This workshop explores the body as a terrain for complexity, adaptation and transformation.

Through situations of chaos, uncertainty and ever-changing challenges, we will investigate how the body perceives, responds and reorganizes itself. The practice moves through the close relationships between seeing and doing, doing and feeling, feeling and being — using questions, physical puzzles and open-ended tasks as tools for exploration.

Working with balance, partnering, soft acrobatics, organic strength and improvisation, we will create environments that ask for immediate responses rather than predefined solutions. Instead of reproducing fixed forms, the body is invited to listen, adapt, negotiate and discover new possibilities in real time.

The aim is not simply to develop more skills, but to cultivate a body that becomes increasingly capable, perceptive and intelligent in the way it moves — and, above all, more human.

All levels, all bodies and all movement backgrounds are welcome — no specific experience or skill level is required. Curiosity and a willingness to explore are qualities we especially welcome.

About the Movement-Teacher

Tiago Martins (IT/DE)

Movement Educator · Co-Founder of the Movement Lisboa & Movement Porto Schools

Early on, Tiago immersed himself in the study of fine arts, dance, theatre, gymnastics and sports science.

Through a need to follow the body in several paths, he sculpted his professional path first as a painter, a high competitor gymnast, a circus performer and later as a dancer and during this multi development he started studying the most varied languages dedicated to Movement – the body in its totality – such as Ido Portal, Fighting Monkey (Linda Kapetanea & Jozef Frucek), Tom Weklser, W. Wanderkeybus, D. Zambrano, Alexander Vantournhout, Peter Jasko, Olga Roriz, Beatriz Batarda, Gaga method, Butoh, Somatics, Emotional Anatomy among many others.

He studies and observe the body as a vehicle for functionality, intellect, and artistic expression, while always feeling like a beginner student. In addition to sharing this methodology, he organizes several international events within Movement Culture, and in 2016 became the co-founder of the first Movement school in Portugal, Movement Lisboa (teaching and directing while curating the educational program). More recently, an extension of the school opened in the north of the country - Movement Porto.

SOMATIC MOVEMENT: When Presence Becomes Alive (taught by Adalisa Mengini)

Movement Practice — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 16:38:00 +0000

3-Day Movement Workshop

SOMATIC MOVEMENT: When Presence Becomes Alive

Taught by adalisa Mengini

09.10.-11.10.2026

When Presence Becomes Alive: Awakening the Front, Middle and Back Body.

Exploring Movement, Awareness, and New Possibilities through Feldenkrais, Ideokinesis, and Neuroscience. A workshop for dancers, movers, performers and curious bodies.

Movement reveals how we inhabit our bodies, how we meet gravity, and how we come into relation with the space around us. In dance, movement and other somatic practices, the front, middle, and back body describe different ways of organizing presence and energy in movement.

The front body meets the world. Breath, perception, and expression unfold here, where the body opens and communicates.

The back body supports and carries us through space. Quiet and powerful, it offers direction, continuity, and the strength that allows movement to travel.

Between them, the middle body gathers and connects. Through the spine, the breath, and the deep center of the body, movement finds coherence and flow.

As these dimensions begin to cooperate, effort redistributes and movement becomes more available. Presence deepens, and new possibilities of balance, freedom, and expression emerge. Drawing on Feldenkrais, Ideokinesis, and neurophysiology, this seminar explores these relationships through gentle movement investigations and dance. Working alone, in pairs, and in groups, participants will explore new ways of sensing, moving, and connecting, with themselves, with others, and with the living intelligence of the body.

About the Teacher

Adalisa Menghini (IT/DE)

Performer · Choreographer · Movement Educator

Adalisa Menghini is a multidisciplinary artist with over forty years of international experience in dance, performance, and somatic education. She studied at the School for New Dance Development (SNDO) in Amsterdam, trained in embryology with Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, and is a certified Feldenkrais practitioner. She also holds a Master’s degree in Neurophysiological Psychology, integrating scientific knowledge with body-based, experiential practices.

Her artistic work spans improvisation, choreography, and somatic research, with a strong commitment to inclusive, intergenerational, and socially engaged approaches. Throughout her career, she has collaborated with renowned artists such as Dieter Heitkamp, Nita Little, Keith Hennessy, Kirstie Simson, LaborGras, Tino Sehgal, and Sasha Waltz.

In parallel, she has developed her own pieces involving both professional and non-professional participants, including children and elderly people, with a focus on accessibility, presence, and collective creation.

She has been involved in several long-term artistic collaborations, including with the now-closed collective Teatro Instabile Berlin, contributing to projects that combined artistic research and community-based performance. Her choreographic work has twice been awarded for best direction and choreography in the context of Giocabriga, a genre of popular theatre in Italy.

In collaboration with K. Wickenhäuser, Adalisa has created museum-based performances with school children at Berliner institutions such as Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlinische Galerie, and Museum für Kommunikation. These educational art projects were honored twice with the “Kinder zum Olymp” award.

Adalisa is a regular faculty member at Tanzfabrik Berlin, where she has been teaching for many years, and is also a lecturer in both the Bachelor and Master programs in Theatre Pedagogy at the University of the Arts (UdK) Berlin. She regularly leads international workshops in contact improvisation and composition.

She is a faculty member of C.A.R.E. (Creativity–Attachment–Resilience–Education), a somatic training program based at the Somatische Akademie Berlin, which combines movement, neuroscience, and creative processes to support personal and professional development.

In 2025, Adalisa was invited to teach at the ISPSO Annual Meeting (International Society for the Psychoanalytic Study of Organizations) in Amsterdam, bringing her somatic movement approach into dialogue with organizational and psychoanalytic thinking.
