Where Movement Meets Community
Round Two: Deeper, Stronger, Together
After a very successful first event last year, Munich’s movement teachers Ludwig Hefele, Raphael Hafez and Nil Teisner come together once again to create a one of a kind movement immersion.
With over 25 years of combined teaching experience, they bring together diverse practice, authentic experience and deep insight across five immersive days.
Where Skill, Strength, and Creativity Connect
Explore the connection between skill building, physical preparation and creativity throughout this five day event.
Dive into the world of movement and learn to use your environment both natural and urban to expand your practice.
Develop your physicality through routines, strength work and release techniques. Experience playful movement scenarios and reconnect with your inner mover.
Rethink Movement. Redefine Yourself.
The Practice Intensive draws from disciplines that shape Ludwig’s, Raphael’s and Nil’s work including soft acrobatics, parkour, fighting, breaking, strength and conditioning, bodywork, partner practice, dance and more.
Join us and transform how you move and how you see yourself.

CURRICULUM
Expect a group of about 30 participants. Practice in indoor spaces but also outdoors (any weather) - it’ll be a great time with wonderful people and an immersive event which will stay in your memory long after!
-
Explore tools that will widen your raw capacities such as strength, mobility, endurance & coordination.
Become efficient in expressing different qualities like moving fluidly, slow, explosive or soft and apply those into your movement practice.
-
A big field of interest for all three teachers, blending together elements from soft acrobatics, capoeira, breaking, parkour, gymnastics & more.
Dive into the upside down, rolled over, fluidly connected, mind-bending world of acrobatic endeavors.
From isolated skills to transitions and combinations. Unique approaches to configure your body in relation to space, gravity and time.
-
An investigation into our relationship to risk. Overcoming the fear of heights and falling, staying calm under stress and learning to trust one's body in different environments.
Build a simple method to confront and grow from fear. Learn rolling and falling techniques, test them in playful ways and integrate them into parkour and acrobatic explorations.
-
How can we transmit our ideas and inner worlds to the outside?
Find ways to express in various forms and images across practices with powerful tools and scores.
-
What makes a good partner? How can we support each other’s growth and evolve as a tribe through fighting, dancing, and training?
In this immersion, participants will be introduced to concepts from martial arts — not as a way to fight or compete, but as a framework for collaboration, awareness and learning how to hold one’s ground.
-
In the end, we don’t aim to just offer isolated practices or tricks.
As interdisciplinary movement teachers, we weave different materials and perspectives into a cohesive and vibrant experience. We see beauty in connecting what may at first seem separate, and believe there is great value in this integration for both practice and life.
Within this, we aim to create a space where you can recognize yourself in the practice — not through imitation, but through exploration — allowing your own movement language and personal fingerprint to emerge.

YOUR TEACHERS
-
Nil is a teacher, acrobat, creator, space holder, creative – and above all, a mover.
Just like his own practice, his teaching is rooted in playful exploration, patient learning and creative movement. He sees physical preparation, strength and care as an essential counterpart to technique, skills and free movement.
By merging these polarities, Nil has been exploring a wide range of movement practices for many years – with acrobatics holding a particularly special place in his heart.
He teaches workshops around the world, inspiring participants to explore movement playfully, find their flow and unlock their own creativity.
-
Ludwig got his Bachelor of Science in the field of Sport Sciences and has been a parkour and movement practitioner for over a decade.
In 2013 he started coaching parkour at a local club in Munich. Since then he’s been developing his (coaching-) skills to build a holistic training system that includes many different disciplines like parkour, breaking and gymnastics.
Besides his in person classes, he also teaches online and is part of the Motion Impulse team (Modern Methods of Mobility / Handstandfactory). He also started digging into performing arts and is part of several agencies which specialize in shows and events.

Raphael is a student and teacher, fascinated by the totality of human movement.
As a physiotherapist and coach he creates spaces and learning environments for people to dive into the cosmos of their movement abilities and sharpen the understanding of themselves.

He worked with hundreds of humans from all over the world, the German Judo Team and some of the most acknowledged clinicians in the sports and health industry.

And if you already joined last year, you’ll be faced with fresh material, ideas and concepts.
