Mata Sakka
shiatsu massage practice
how to treat your body for prevention of injuries. after my long career as a dancer, i am happy to culminate my skill set in anatomical studies and massage therapy into a workshop based on functional anatomy and to offer a hands-on treatment for movers and dancers alike. by getting curious about the deep understanding of the moving body and its mechanisms, together we will inquire into our corporeal selves. the sources of information are extremely diverse and include the use of chinese medicine, yoga asanas, qigong practices and several massage techniques, which will help us to find the right methodology to prevent physical injury.
the description reflects an artist’s idea which was developed at the time it was submitted to b12. it may have changed by the time the workshop or the performance project is starting. please stay flexible. thank you!
