BORN2PLAY URBAN INTENSIVE

Play-Fight is a practice that reveals the multiple aspects and infinite possibilities of human interaction and capabilities in all its creative potential. The practice is about setting safe containers that implies moderate physical risks and relational challenges in order to toss the participants off their comfort zone. It is through the adversities and stressful contexts that hidden aspects of ourselves are exposed. Play-Fight Practice works through group and partner dynamics that stimulates participants to recondition the defence mechanisms from the very common "fight, flight or freeze" mode into a more playful adaptive response, whilst dealing with a confrontation situation. Play-Fight playfully brings awareness into those unconscious bodily reactions that oftentimes don't work in our favour. The mechanics is about slowing down the inner rhythm, with the support of the breath, which becomes vital to maintain the autonomic nervous system engaged predominantly by the parasympathetic branch, the relaxation-digestion response, regardless how contentious a circumstance may become.

BRUNO CAVERNA

Bruno Caverna is a pioneer in the development of body-mind integrative practices authentically supported by more than 35 years of dedicated studies in various body-mind disciplines such as Capoeira, Acrobatics, Contemporary Dance, Contact-improvisation, Taiji, Russian Systema, Watsu, Breath-Work and Freediving. In 2012 Bruno created the Play-Fight and Liquid-Body practices and in 2016 he changed the focus of his professional perspective by founding Formless Arts, a philosophical umbrella that sustains the physical practices and theoretical studies. Formless Arts overall's aim is to provide a mosaic-like container for those earnest to be committed to the path of self-knowledge through the contemplation of movement, breath and awareness. Since then Bruno has been certifying facilitators, organizing his own events, educational courses and collaborating at inter-disciplinary festivals. The newest chapter in Bruno's professional trajectory is about to be launched, the Formless Arts Practitioner Training Program offered and spread in 6 modules along the year Bruno started exploring Freediving in 2018 and under the guidance of Andreas Pepper Bruno had a mind-blowing experience as he saw the ocean as a portal for inner dimensions. Ever since he has been completely hooked and fascinated by the feelings and states the deep waters may provide and open up. Recently Bruno has also certified as an instructor of the Buteyko method and Oxygen Advantage, a further dive into the fascinating world of the breath.
