PLAY - FIGHT envisions a movement practice that stimulates a reconnection to the primal intelligence, which we can observe as becoming dormant in many people. Our movement practice weaves together principles from martial arts, like Capoeira, Russian System, with aspects from Contact-Improvisation. It is exactly at this unique intersection of languages, with seemingly opposite purposes, that a fertilized zone for a confrontational cooperation arises.
Topics that we will work through: Falling and rolling, mechanics and techniques Embodying action by the principle of non-action (Wu-Wei) Introduction to Breathwork Soft yet firm modes to simulate attacks and counter-attacks Relationship between power over vulnerability and the use of own vulnerability as a form of power Strengthening the muscular skeleton system from tendons Systema bodyweight drills Refined study to human geometry and how to destabilize it effortlessly
BRUNO CAVERNA is a formless artist who for over 30 years has been engaged in movement practices, ranging from acrobatics, capoeira, martial arts to various dance styles. He has an ability to distill and synthesise these disciplines into a distinguished teaching approach of integrative potential. Since 2000 Bruno travels worldwide boundlessly bridging diverse tribes and teaching people from all walks of life. He has shared his visions at psychiatric clinics, in jails, Amazon communities, refugee asylums, for mentally and physically disable people, just to mention a few.
His methodology operates from two different yet interconnected platforms: Liquid-Body and Play-Fight. Both are a sort of “formless arts” for having the power to talk to individual souls, regardless their backgrounds or preferences. His uncompromised teaching is fueled by a life-long realization that, from the root’s perspective, all the external differences are what make life interesting of sharing, as opposed to battling one another.
