Professional Training: Jean Abreu

Book now

Jean Abreu’s classes explore movement as a powerful means of expression, connecting emotions, memories, and lived experiences through the body. His approach considers the body as a vessel for communication, using movement as a universal language to translate inner sensations, process information, and explore connections with others. 

The class combines movement technique with deep exploration of decision-making in motion. Participants are encouraged to search for movement impulses that feel urgent and necessary, developing a physicality that is both present and responsive. Through guided improvisations and structured tasks, dancers engage in problem-solving with the body, refining their ability to generate movement from emotional and sensory cues.

This class is open to professional dance artists and movers interested in embodied expression, somatic awareness, and the interplay between thought and movement. Jean’s methodology supports dancers in cultivating their unique movement voice while deepening their physical and emotional engagement with dance. This class is also an opportunity for participants to experience Jean's current movement research methodologies, as his company is currently in a period of researching a new creation based on Derek Jarman's life and final work, Blue.
