A Somatic Journey through Movement & Contact Improvisation”
Join us for a 3-part series of workshops designed to reconnect you with your body’s intelligence, subtle rhythms, and capacity for deep presence and play. Through somatic practices, movement and contact improvisation, we’ll explore the body from the inside out—awakening sensation, breath, and relational movement.
Each class focuses on a foundational pattern:
Vibration – the subtle rhythm that connects us to everything
Cellular Breathing – breath and aliveness at the level of the cell
Navel Radiation – core-centered movement connecting all six limbs
We will play, move, and dance—alone, with partners, and in group improvisation. No previous experience needed. All bodies, backgrounds, and levels are welcome.
Come as you are. Let your body lead
Class 1
Vibration – A Movement & Contact Improvisation
sensing, moving, and resonating
In this first, we will explore vibration as the foundation of all movement, connection, and presence. Vibration is life—it’s the subtle rhythm that exists within and around us, shaping how we feel, move, and relate to the world.
We’ll listen to our inner rhythm, explore magnetism (attraction and repulsion ), and discover how we resonate with others in movement and stillness.
We will play, move, and dance, following the natural waves of attraction, repulsion, and connection that arise through touch, space, and shared energy. As we attune to our unique vibrational tone, we deepen our awareness, creativity, and connection—with ourselves and each other.
This workshop is open to movers of all levels. No experience needed—just curiosity and a willingness to explore from within.
Class 2
Cellular Breathing – Movement & Contact Improvisation
deep listening, movement, and connection
In this second class, we will explore cellular breathing—a gentle, inner awareness that begins at the smallest level of the body: the cell. Through somatic movement and contact improvisation, we’ll slow down and feel how breath moves inside us and connects us to others.
We’ll play, move, and dance, using touch, stillness, and guided exploration to awaken a deeper sense of presence, ease, and flow. As we tune into our body’s natural rhythms, we become more open, grounded, and connected—both in solo and in contact.
This workshop is open to movers of all levels. No experience needed—just curiosity and a willingness to explore from within.
Class 3
Navel Radiation – Movement & Contact Improvisation
core connection, radiating movement, and embodied exploration
In this third class, we’ll explore Navel Radiation—a deep and primal movement pattern that connects all six limbs (arms, legs, head, and tail) through the center of our body: the navel.
Inspired by the starfish and the floating fetus, this pattern invites us to move from the belly, sensing how every part of the body flows into and out from our core. We’ll awaken our inner center and explore how it supports movement, coordination, and presence in space.
We’ll develop our sense of direction, body awareness, and fluid connection between center and limbs. It’s about finding balance between inner impulse and outer movement, between self-awareness and shared space.

His personal path has led him beyond traditional academic training (degree in Movement Sciences) into a deep exploration of disciplines such as yoga, capoeira, acrobatics, and in recent years, contemporary dance, contact improvisation, and acrodance.
Salvo approaches movement as a living research — blending knowledge from diverse practices to create a personal, embodied, and conscious way of moving. His work supports others in reconnecting with their inner essence through presence, play, and somatic awareness.
