During Esete Sutinen’s course, we explore movement with music, gaze, space, and silence.

On this course we surrender to the exploration of our internal bodily states through gaze, allowing movement and breath to guide us. Through movement improvisation and dancing to music, we delve into the interplay between body, gaze, and space with various individual and group exercises.
