ABOUT US

Body Talks it’s a somatic research project in which we move, dance, and listen to our body’s stories about ourselves.

The project was initiated in Minsk, Belarus, in 2009. The practice was originally based on free dance and later supplemented with approaches of authentic movement and somatics.

The main goal of the project is to develop the skill of authentic self-expression by increasing the level of attention to movement and its source.
