an ideal opportunity to work with Caroline Chevat and Claudia Heinle, unique artists in their field, as well as guest artists, who enrich the week with their music, dance, and knowledge.
This year we take you on a journey to the universe of the human dancing body and how emotions are linked to music and movement. In the oriental music theory and practice, musical modes (maqamat) are linked to emotional states and are even said to heal.
