• Go into the subconscious

  This is an audio meditation where Paulina invites you to read the qualities and emotions which are present in your body. Sometimes we tend to forget to simply listen and read what we have inside. A lot of inspiration and qualities are already in us. After simple meditation you will start to move and express what you found in your subconscious.

  Stay curious and trust your body.

Section 2

• Building the Physical Score - create it

  We continue the process. In this session we focus on building the physical score or choreography based on experience from last session. You will start to make choices about the movements which are interesting for you and about their qualities. Paulina invites you to not only stay curious about your movements but also be your own choreographer or director and start to build sequence of movements.

  What is the main topic of this physical score? Can you read it already?
  Connect your movement with the topic which appeared.

Section 3

• The Story

  What is the story you are telling in your movement?
  Choose the most important moments in your choreography and polish them. It is a time to start to build the story out of the material you created till now. In this session I invite you also to focus on emotions appearing in this score.
