One afternoon. Many ways to move.
Mix & Move is an afternoon to move, explore and cherry-pick what feels good — from tai chi and capoeira to contact improvisation, somatic dance and bodywork and massage.
Join a single workshop, combine a few, or stay for the full experience. Between sessions, there will be time to rest, share a meal and meet others.
Each activity works on its own, so you can choose the ones that spark your curiosity, or mix a few into your own programme, or stay for the entire afternoon.
New to a practice? You’re welcome. Already experienced? There will be room to go further. All workshops are accessible without previous experience, with possibilities to explore according to your level and curiosity.
Programme
Tai Chi Chuan is a Chinese internal martial art that focuses on fluid, mindful movement and harmonious connection with a partner. Explore different qualities of movement through both structured and more open exercises, practising solo and with a partner.

Explore Capoeira Angola, a Brazilian movement practice combining movement, rhythm and interaction. Through playful exercises and movement games, we’ll practise moving close to the floor, weight shifts and changes of direction while developing coordination, mobility and body awareness. We’ll gradually discover how these foundations can open the door to fluid, accessible soft acrobatics.
Gaspar is a Chilean musician-capoerista who has been training capoeira Angola since 2014, learning from mestres and contra-mestres across Europe and sharing the practice through his teaching in and around Brussels.
Level: open to all levels, as in Capoeira, we train together, adapting exercises to different levels of experience. Beginner friendly!
Bring some food to share with and enjoy a snack together with other movers. Think of quantity suitable for 5-6 poeple, and food that is light and easy to share. Tea will be provided.
Free activity, open to all.
Discover the basic principles of Contact Improvisation. Together, we will explore movement through touch and sharing weight with a partner, while connecting with gravity and the earth. We will practice trusting our bodies in order to play with the unexpected.

In somatic dance, we pay attention to how movement feels and where it comes from, using this awareness as material for dance improvisation. We’ll explore the spine through waves, spirals and isolations, and bring these movements into playful partner exercises. Through this exploration, we’ll develop body awareness and discover more ease, fluidity and possibilities in how we move and connect with others.
