Kristina Gjem’s classes are based on the principles of Taiji and Qigong as movement meditation; grounding, breath and effortless flow of energy. We notice how stillness and giving attention to our inner landscape can generate movement. We experience our presence and porous membranes in communication with the surrounding space. The classes will contain guided form as well as the possibility to follow our own bodies in exploration.

Kristina Gjems was trained at London Contemporary Dance School and has worked as a dancer and choreographer since 1984. Her works include stage and site-specific productions as well as short films. She has been practicing and teaching T’ai Chi for many years, which influences her movement vocabulary and inspires her artistic approach and expression. Much of her practice takes place in nature and the connection between our bodies, movement and the elements is strongly present in her work.
