Sat30 May10:00 AM – 01:00 PMMourad BouayadThe workshop
Between an improvisation class and a choreographic work that is at once virtuosic, playful, and demanding, Mourad Bouayad’s teaching adapts to each student, to their level as well as their personal desire. It is driven by a deep conviction: dance should above all remain a game, a space of freedom and joy.

General
What is Forest Lighthouse?
Forest Lighthouse is a centre for somatic and neurosomatic education in Brussels. We explore embodied learning through movement, perception, cognition, and emotional awareness. Our aim is to create the right conditions for learning so each person can discover and develop their abilities through direct experience.
What kinds of classes and trainings do you offer?
We organise workshops, regular classes, private sessions, and professional training programmes. These activities explore different approaches to embodied learning and movement, often with internationally recognised teachers and practitioners.
