ARRÁBIDA DANCE LABS | 25th edition • 20 > 28 October • Autumn Gathering 2023


Welcome to the 25th edition of Arrábida Dance Labs within the inspirational theme:

THE UNIFIED FIELD
The Inner Ocean of Pure Consciousness

A fundamental force of infinite possibilities, binding us all and everything that exists.

~~~~~~

Move In Touch | Productions and SerVivo | Community offer every season an opened space dedicated to DANCE for:

- SELF AWARENESS 
- EMBODIED RELATIONSHIPS
- CREATIVE EMPOWERMENT 


People from all over the world - whatever body shape, age, cultural background, gender/sexual orientation, with or without body/movement experience - come together in this collective immersion through DANCE, carried by an expert team of teachers and space holders that will be there with you supporting the whole journey.

This 9 Days Impermanent Community Laboratory happens within a regenerative and artistic environment, located in a beautiful valley, down the heart of the Arrábida Natural Park | Portugal, by one of the most precious beaches in the world, just around the corner of our Portuguese Coast.



EMBODIMENT PRACTICES • CONTEMPORARY  MOVEMENT • CONTACT IMPROVISATION  • SOMATICS  • INSTANT COMPOSITION 

These are, among many other alternative and complementary proposals like Nature Immersions, Breathwork, Yoga, Tai Chi, Chi Kung, Butoh, Urban Dances, Embodied Voice, Physical Theater and Body Therapies, the main dynamics you will find in this unforgettable experience.
