About the 'Fasciatherapy & Sensitive Movement' classes (see the AND Lab Space permanent programming)

In these classes the body is 'awakened', becoming aware of it, connecting forgotten parts, giving movement to what is immobile. We learn to listen to our internal movement, work on being present in the moment and integrate body, mind, spirit and emotions, awakening the life potential of each person, achieving a being that expresses itself in its entirety. It is a work based on the Perceptive Psychopedagogy of Movement - Danis Bois Method, which includes manual therapy, meditation, slow movement schemes based on the body's biomechanics and free expression movements, alone or in contact with other people. The internal movement occurs in the fascia, it is a force of self-regulation of the human being, reacting to physical, psychological and emotional traumas with tensions/blockages. It is also a way of accessing the sensitive, allowing, with the practice of listening, to develop new relationships between the individual and himself, with others and with the world.

Fazer Comum ['Do Common'] is a housing program by Espaço AND Lab, in Lisbon, whose main objective is to contribute to the dynamization of the artistic and cultural fabric of Lisbon, providing space for work, dialogue, meeting, research and sharing of practices within the scope of work AND Lab - Art, Politics, Community.
