Forest. Amphibious Bodies, (Dance, Aquatic Bodywork & Nature Immersion

About this event

FoRest (Fundamentals of Observation, Rest, Experimentation,
Sustainability and Transit) is a 4-day residential laboratory that
brings together dance exploration (aquatic bodywork, movement
research, C.I. ), hiking & nature immersion.

The encounter takes place in Guy Guy beach, a wild territory and
natural reserve accessible only by foot or by boat.

Conceived as a small-scale collective experience, FoRest invites a
group of participants to share time living, moving and creating
together in close dialogue with the surrounding ecosystem.

Through dance explorations, attentive walking and somatic practices,
the laboratory cultivates a space for listening, creative intimacy and
embodied research.

One of the fundamental aspects of the retreat takes place in the
water. Through Aguahara’s aquatic bodywork sessions, the sea becomes
both a studio and a collaborator. The water offers a space where
gravity is softened, perception is expanded, and relational movement
can emerge through trust, support and fluidity.

Approaching the human body as an amphibious system, the laboratory
explores the creative potential of moving between elements. The
interplay between land and sea invites participants to re-sense the
body’s adaptive intelligence and to engage with nature as a living
partner in processes of attention, rest and transformation.

FoRest is open to movers, artists, thinkers and anyone interested in
embodied research and shared experiences of creativity in nature.

We reach GuyGuy beach after a four-hour hike, exploring dynamic
meditation and various approaches to somatic and sonic forms along the
way. Once at the beach, we set up camp for four days and three nights,
practising together and sharing daily tasks. Temperatures range from
23 to 30°C, so a sleeping bag is usually enough.
