Nepal Flow Arts Gathering

Over seven days, you can engage in many workshops led by our talented instructors and learn all about the different props in Flow Arts. For the more experienced Flow Artist out there we offer more advanced classes in various props. You can find a list of the teachers below. We’re also inviting more teachers to join, who will be announced in time. Besides Flow Arts we also offer classes more in tune with bodywork and different types of dance forms. For example the Nepali dance.
Nightly (fire)flow jams will light up our evenings, both at our venue and within the local community, as we celebrate art and culture together.
At the residency various flow tools are available to share such as hula hoops, contact staffs, levi wands and poi. These are available for use by everyone at the residency. Do you have extra props you could bring? Let us know!

Carmen has been hooping since 2018 and in the meantime she also started flowing with other props. While on this journey, she discovered her passion for play and learning, and started feeling deeply inspired by movement culture. She made a deep dive into the movement practice and worked with different materials that can help one to become a better mover – something Carmen is always interested in. Now she’s excited to connect the worlds of movement and flow arts: she will bring exploration, movement games and partner work to help you expand your flow.
