Dance with Armenian Alphabet

Dance with the Armenian Alphabet is an embodied movement workshop inviting adults to explore language, memory, and cultural identity through the body.

In this practice, the Armenian alphabet becomes more than a writing system—it unfolds as form, rhythm, vibration, and gesture. Each letter is approached as a living historic structure that can be sensed, moved, and reimagined. Through guided improvisation, somatic exploration, and creative composition, participants engage with the shapes, sounds, and symbolic resonances of the letters.

The workshop opens a space to investigate how language lives in the body—how it is shaped by time, space, and personal experience. It offers a gentle yet profound approach to reconnecting with cultural roots, or encountering a language for the first time through embodied awareness; while inviting them to an embodied journey though Armenian letters, words and sentenes

Depending on the context, the workshop may support:

  • Embodied language learning and sensory engagement with the Armenian alphabet
  • Exploration of cultural memory, identity, and belonging
  • Creative expression through movement, voice, and writing
  • Reflective and artistic research processes

Rooted in somatic practices and improvisation, the sessions prioritise process over outcome, inviting participants to move beyond cognitive understanding into lived, felt experience.

Who is it for?

Open to all adults—no prior dance or Armenian language experience is required. Depending on the context and needs isessions available for non-dancers /communities / dancers and stage proffesionals alike.

Multi Layered Movement Expressions

Multi-Layered Movement Expressions is a creative dance workshop exploring the body as a site where personal histories, cultural narratives, and ecological relations intersect.

Grounded in somatic practices, improvisation, and ecological ways of knowing, the workshop invites participants into a non-judgmental and fluid space for movement exploration. Here, sensing, thinking, feeling, and imagining are equally valued, allowing each participant to move from their own embodied experience.

The practice gently challenges dominant, hierarchical, and product-driven approaches to dance, opening instead a relational and process-oriented approach. Participants are encouraged to explore how memory, place, identity, and environment shape the way they move and perceive.

Rather than focusing on fixed techniques or performance outcomes, this workshop approaches dance as a space for inquiry, expression, and connection.


What participants can experience and develop:

  • Connection between movement, ecology, and lived experience
  • Deeper body awareness and embodied listening
  • Tools for improvisation and creative movement-making
  • Increased sensitivity to space, environment, and relational dynamics
  • Exploration of personal and collective narratives through movement
  • Confidence in expressing without judgment or predefined forms

Who is it for?

Depending on the context and needs isessions available for non-dancers /communities / dancers and stage proffesionals alike.
No previous movement experience is needed.

Dance & Poetry Ecounters

Dance & Poetry Encounters is a creative and reflective workshop exploring the relationship between movement and language—between what is felt, what is spoken, and what remains unsaid.

Bringing together dance, poetry, and somatic practices, these sessions invite participants to listen deeply to both body and word. Through guided movement explorations, writing prompts, and improvisation, participants move between physical expression and poetic language—allowing each to inform and transform the other.

Poetry becomes a sensory and embodied experience, while movement opens new pathways for language to emerge. Rather than focusing on technique or literary skill, the workshop creates a space for personal expression, imagination, and discovery.

Participants are invited to explore:

  • the body as a source of language, imagery, and metaphor
  • the translation between movement and words
  • rhythm, breath, and voice as bridges between dance and poetry
  • personal and collective narratives through embodied and written forms

What participants can experience and develop:

  • Deeper connection between body, voice, and language
  • Tools for creative writing and movement improvisation
  • Expanded imagination and expressive range
  • Confidence in sharing and articulating personal experience
  • A reflective and supportive creative practice

Who is it for?

Open to movers, writers, artists, and anyone curious about the intersection of dance and poetry.
No previous experience in dance or writing is required.
