Circadian Bodies Dance Class - Private Sessions at East London
course price icon
From 126.82 C$ /h
arrow icon
CircadianBodies is a Movement Practice blending contemporary Dance and Capoeira within the context of neuroscience and health of the contemporary body.

A few words about me

I am a dancer & educator with a background in release technique, Capoeira and somatic practices. My work blends improvisation, rhythm, and humour, shaped by both my artistic and scientific backgrounds—I hold a Master of Pharmacy from kings_college_london alongside a professional dance degree form @horohronos Athens and an MA from @theplacelondon. This intersection fuels my exploration of physical intelligence, emotional awareness, spatial connection.

My choreographic work bridges disciplines, from NOSTOS: Migrating Bodies, Migrating Dances, merging Capoeira, Greek traditional dance, and VR, to 'Circadian Bodies', my evolving practice on biological rhythms and sensory movement, now taught at chisenhaledance Dance. I've researched with ferus.animi.terra.nova, bageorgeilias at Dance Athens and farofa_capoeira at Corpo Fechado. I have choreographed projects like 'Khaki Versus Colours’, Pessoas and NOSTOS, exploring socio-political themes through movement.

I’m passionate about making movement accessible—whether in performance, teaching, or community work!

About Me
I am Marianna, performer & educator with a background in release technique, Capoeira and somatic practices. My work blends improvisation, rhythm, and humour, shaped by both my artistic and scientific backgrounds—I hold a Master of Pharmacy from @kings_college_london alongside a professional dance degree form @horohronos and an MA from @theplacelondon. This intersection fuels my exploration of physical intelligence, emotional awareness, spatial connection. Circadian Bodies: Moving with Nature's Rhythm 🌿

Our biological clock—the circadian rhythm—shapes how we move, feel, and connect with the world. One of the most powerful ways to regulate it is by immersing ourselves in nature, moving with all our senses awake.

👀 Seeing the shifting light filtering through the trees.
👂 Hearing the waterfall’s endless flow, the birds composing music in real-time.
🤲 Touching the textures of the earth—wood, water, stone—letting them shape our movement.
❄️ Feeling the cold water awaken our system, sharpening presence and resilience.
⚖️ Balancing on uneven ground, adapting to nature’s ever-changing surfaces.
👅 Tasting the land itself—local fruits, food made by the people rooted in the place.

Our bodies are meant to move with nature, not against it. To attune, not control. To listen, not dictate.

I try to guide your natural movement rhythm, while creating climbing or stretching games with the surrounding environment, either indoors or outdoors !

My class explores a choreographic style of contemporary dance with clear influences from Cunningham technique and my recent expirience working with Jason Mabana. The work will challenge your coordination, rhythm, attention to detail and demostrate a contemporary application of classical teachnical forms, but all through explorative and original material.

The class is structured like any other technical class, each exercise desinged to methodicaly warm up and work the body, building on the previous exercises, before culminating in a longer choreography where we can pull everything together and just have a boogie.

I can tailor the work to each student however I would reccomend having some technical expirience, classical or contemporary.

Lessons take the form of a traditional ballet class, starting at the barre and moving to the centre (adapting to space), and include discussions to help dancers to refine their thought processes and approach.
