About practitioner Monica Giacomin

Movement Educator, Therapist and Artist actively engaged within the CI communities of London and Venice, dedicated to using CI and creative movement in the frame of Community Dance.

ContaKids

A creative movement class for children aged between 2-5, 6-9 and their

parents/carers. ContaKids uses simple exercises in the form of games between the child and the parent: the experience of moving together and the physical contact support a body-based form of communication fun and beneficial for all. Children enhance and improve their motor skills and self-confidence whilst parents develop a sense of trust in their child and themselves.

Adult Contact Workshop and Jam

This workshop will explore dynamics that can emerge in the trio format. We will use simple tools, playing with "sight", "qualities of touch" and "structure" stimulating both the body and mind curiosity, opening possibilities to new, unexpected pathways and perhaps take flight in a trio.
