02.-04.09.2024 – Hallein

Under the guidance of the two mentors – Gil ‘the Grid’ and Kamilla Takeyourtime from Amenti MoveMeant – who have extensive experience within the field, up to 25 participants come together in the up-and-coming cultural and picturesque city of Hallein.

In these 3 days of deep-dive into the spheres of dance with a special focus on Emotional Intelligence, the participants get the opportunity to research their authentic way of moving and self-expression in a safe and supportive environment. 

Dance classes, theory sessions, Q&As and several community-building activities such as a mountain hike or a Yoga class allow the participants to explore the nuances of their own movement by exchanging with mentors and like-minded dance artists while at the same time creating an international network across the globe. All levels welcome!

The Intensive Retreat ends with “A Flavourful Night” – our closing party at Genusskrämerei Hallein including a special surprise performance by the mentors Gil ‘The Grid’ & Kamilla Takeyourtime. Find more info at “A Flavourful Night”. 

The Flavourama Intensive Retreat includes:

• 13 hours of dance classes

This year’s topic: 

Emotional Intelligence | Authentic Self Expression |  with Gil the Grid and Kamilla TakeYourTime from Amenti MoveMeant and Theatre Company.

Emotional Intelligence

What does it mean to move authentically? It also means uncovering hidden parts of yourself as a human. As a dancer, you can touch people even more deeply with the art you create when you move from authenticity.

Moving authentically and thus expressing yourself authentically can only be achieved when we get to know ourselves. What are our true desires, wants, strengths, and weaknesses? How we move is a direct reflection of who we are as people. 

Two dancers who have found these specific truths are Gil ‘The Grid’ Gomes Leal and Kamilla TakeYourTime. Gil is the founder, teacher, artistic director, and dancer of Amenti MoveMeant and Amenti Theatre Company, in which Kamilla also plays a vital role as a dancer and teacher. 

Both of them will move with you through this Retreat, during which they will deeply explore how you, as a human, are related to you as a dancer. 

What are the connections between the body and the mind – and how does dance and movement directly relate to us and the world around us?
