The GYROKINESIS® Method is a movement practice that stimulates circulation in the body and fosters an effective body-mind connection. Central to the training are breathing exercises in relation with the muscular pathways, notably the vertical and spiral muscles chains. An alignment of the bony structure is also addressed by working with gravity. The class revisits the ground principles of Gyrokinesis to give each dancer and practitioner useful tools to access their own flow in respect to one’s unique body composition.

Maria Zimpel

Maria Zimpel choreographer, dance artist. In her work she is exploring the limits of physically. She is creating her own dance language and modular choreographic structures based on semi-repetitive movement patterns and embodied attention in movement. She is an author of many solo and collaborative projects, shown all around the world. 

During the K3 residency 19/20, Maria combined the research in quantum physics and dance, exploring the idea of dance as an elementary force creating and transforming places. In her choreography Space Gives Place, the notion of place as a dance-based event was explored via dance, music, light and space design.
