Welcome to

Through movement, play, and open discussions, we accompany you as you uncover possibilities for yourself.

In society, we often wear masks to protect ourselves. These masks are patterns of thought or behavior that are conditioned by society, and they may, at times, prevent us from being totally honest with ourselves. For instance, we may tell ourselves that our current situation in life “is ok”, but deep down, you would give up so much for a change.

We use of a mix of actor training pedagogy/activities, and coaching techniques to help you get in touch with what your body is saying to you, so that you can begin living life on your own terms.

Our bodies hold wisdom about who we are and what we want. Through immersive experiences, we accompany you to discover your unique path and place in society.

We are not therapists, but companions on your journey of self-discovery.

Our Programme Methodology

01_SeekingChange_CreatingArenas

Seeking Change

Our movement and play activities will get you to experience a change in physiological and mental states. Recall how a simple game of hide and seek during childhood increased your heartbeat and brought about a certain level of excitement within you.

02_MakingSense_CreatingArenas

Making Sense

After each activity, we conduct an open group discussion to make sense of your experiences. You’ll see clearly — your habitual patterns of thinking and responses to situations, and thus specific choices to reinforce or disrupt those patterns.

03_Moving Out_CreatingArenas

Moving Out

Over the course of the programme, you’ll build the skills to transfer your learnings within the studio to your life outside, so that you can make specific choices that matter to you and live life on your own terms.
