UMA – Vernier
This workshop opens a space of work at the crossroads of Parkour, contemporary ballet and Improvisation. Five days to approach space as a partner rather than a backdrop: reading an architecture, finding one’s holds in it, building a movement that is as much about the gesture as about crossing.
Chloé Reynolds is a movement artist. She explores the relationship between the body and the built environment, and makes of every space a material for interpretation.
Open to all. External students welcome.
Location: Urban Move Academy, Vernier
Price: 1 day: CHF 60.- / 2 days: CHF 110.- / 3 days: CHF 160.- / 4 days: CHF 210.-

Four days to approach Tricking beyond its usual frame, between acrobatics, dance and martial arts. The work explores fluidity, momentum and the relationship to gravity, to build a personal movement vocabulary where the figure stops being a performance to become a writing.
An acrobat, performer, choreographer and teacher, Joy Isabella Brown makes Tricking an aerial art, at the crossroads of gymnastics, dance and martial arts. A self-taught artist, she joined Jacob Jonas The Company in 2017 and develops a practice that questions the freedom and the limits of the body. Her work has marked international campaigns, from Nike to Sony.
Open to all. External students welcome.
