Summer Camp 2027

In everyday life we mostly squeeze our practice in somewhere: an hour after work, ten minutes in the morning if things go well. Once a year we turn that around. We head out of the city, and for five days the practice gets all the space.

What to expect

Every camp has a theme. We look at it from three directions: acrobatics, kung fu and dance. It’s less about the single move than about the thread that runs through all three. So you don’t spend five days learning tricks you tick off at the end. You understand something that is in every movement, and feel it more deeply from day to day. That changes how you move, long after the summer.

Three perspectives, one thread

We carry one theme through acrobatics, qi gong and dance.

What a day looks like

Mornings and afternoons we train outside, with plenty of time. We stay with one thing long enough for it to settle in the body.

Let go of progress, and it will come by itself

These days are not about who can do the most impressive move. They are about staying curious and peeling the onion, layer by layer.

Breaks

In between there’s the pool, shared meals and time for yourself. In the evenings we sit by the fire, go to the sauna, talk, laugh or sometimes just stay quiet.

A summer that stays with you.

Many come back from the camp with a fresh view of their training and a new boost of inspiration for the rest of the year.

    Soft acrobatics

    You learn the moves step by step, at your level. By the end of the camp they become a sequence.

    Internal martial arts

    You learn to find your inner strength. A strength that at some point feels completely effortless.

    Locomotion & strength

    Back to a way of moving that once came naturally to us: smooth movement on the floor.

    Eva

    Contemporary dance

    You move in and out of the floor, improvise and feel how rest and activation feed each other. After that the acrobatics feel different too.

Who is the camp for?

The camp isn’t there just to collect new tricks. It’s for you if you finally want to give your movement practice (once again) five whole days of space. If you feel like giving your curiosity and creativity free rein. If you come with openness rather than with explicit expectations of a particular outcome.

Summer Camp 2024 recap
“The summer camp completely changed my understanding of movement. Every session was intense, honest and inspiring, an experience that went far beyond technique. I learned to perceive my body anew and to train with more clarity.”
