The intention, emotion and musicality of the body are transformed into tools of expression and creation. The workshop \u201cThe Poetics of Body Expression\u201d is an empirical exploration of our expressive possibilities through movement. Through guided improvisation, participants are invited to discover new ways of connecting with their body and to explore different qualities of movement and expression. The workshop opens a space of experimentation, where the body becomes expression, musicality emerges naturally and intention activates action. The workshop is addressed to all ages and levels of experience, offering a deep yet free exploration of movement and self-expression.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Saturday, 17 May | 17-18:30 and 18:30-20:00<\/p>\n<p>Sunday, 18 May | 11-12:30 and 12:30-14:00<\/p>\n<p>Venue: Municipal Dance School<\/p>\n<p>Admission: dance@kalamatafaris.gr, Tel. 2721083086 &amp; at the secretary office of the Municipal Dance School<\/p>\n<p>Participation Cost: 10\u20ac General Admission \/\/ 5\u20ac Students of the Municipal Dance School<\/p>\n<p>\u0399n collaboration with the Kalamata Municipal Dance School<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>CV<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Evangelia Rantou was born in Corfu and is a graduate of the State School of Dance in Athens.
