Move in Colors- Emotions: Painting & Dancing Workshop

Join us on a journey to explore the art of translating emotions into movements and colors!

“𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐬” - 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 & 𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 by artists and community members 𝐋𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐚 𝐋𝐢𝐧 and 𝐄𝐥𝐬𝐚 𝐑𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧, in collaboration with 𝐂*𝐒𝐏𝐀𝐂𝐄 𝐁𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧, as part of the community events.

Have you ever felt a music so deep inside of you that it made you cry, laugh, feel goosebumps all over your body, or release all the preoccupations we were carrying?

During this workshop, we express your sensations & emotions brought up by the rhythmics and melodies, through movements and colors. We explore what it means to let your intuition guide you, to “go with the flow”, to trust yourself.

Our most natural senses: seeing, hearing, touching, feeling will be used to connect at a deeper level with ourselves, to be mindful and present. By using sounds and music as guidance, we close the bridge between our sensory experience and our outer reality. We move with the rhythm and feel the colors within us.

Join us for a dance & paint workshop, and explore fun and creative ways to express yourself!

All levels are welcome, no prior experiences with dancing or painting required.

The focus of this workshop will be“𝐄𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬”, exploring the colorful emotions in us, and through colors and movements, we will explore ways to encounter them, accept them, befriend them, confront them and embrace them.

Lavia began painting at the age of 7, from childish doodles, fairy tales to dream-like worlds, her hands were always dipped in paints and holding crayons. In the years of exploring, searching and finding her artistic expressions, her art has always been colourful.

Growing up in the family-owned Live Music Bar ‘’House of Blues & Jazz’’ in Shanghai, music became an essential part of the memories of Lavia’s upbringing. From live concerts to recorded music, music fascinates her, in the flowing movements of tunes, melodies and rhythm; the art of improvisation in jazz; and in the harmony of soloists conversing with each other. Her love for music has become her artistic inspiration. She uses colours, brushstrokes and textures to mirror the emotions, memories and imagination from listening to music. Through her art, Lavia experiments in ways how music and visual arts interact and explores the meaning of “imagining music”. An important aspect of Lavia’s art is the action, ‘the moment of creation’, namely live painting. She enjoys the direct interaction with music, and creates visual recordings at concerts. Lavia has performed with international music artists in different genres ranging from jazz, ambient, improvisation, original singer-songwriter to classical music, with the aim of bringing together different cultures by connecting visual arts and music.

Elsa is convinced that everybody can dance. For her, dancing is about feeling the rhythm first, and translating it into movements. No needs to create and learn complicated choreography - even though she also enjoys it - but more importantly sensing our inner flow.

She started her dance practices with modern jazz classes from 5 to 11 years old, and had fun creating her own choreographies, based on the songs’ lyrics, story and melody. Growing up, she joined different dance groups, going from hip hop to zumba. The performances and team spirit present developed her cooperation skills as well as some rigor and perseverance to achieve her goals.

Later, she explored the couple dance universe, starting with rock n’ roll, her parents being her first teachers. She continued with initiations to ballroom dances such as waltz, paso-doble, tango and cha cha cha. In her years living in Spain, she delved into the latino world of bachata, cumbia and salsa, learning at the same time about the historical background of the dances and their cultural importance.

When she arrived in Berlin in March 2023, she discovered the Brazilian couple dance called Forró and fell in love with the songs and the community. At the same time, she started to regularly practice a more conscious and spiritual dance called Biodanza. Her curiosity for the relation between the mind and the body grew, as she explored deeper connections with herself and others while dancing.

In 2024, she joined a Musical theater amateur group in Berlin, and now keeps on exploring cultures through practices such as Capoeira, Bollywood, or Hawaiian dances.

She has always loved to share her passion for dancing around her, in a playful and respectful way, and is looking forward to doing it during this workshop!
