"I’m excited about your presence.
I want you to experience what it means to transform your chaos.
I want you to get messy in things and let the flow guide you.
I want you to slow down enough to feel the air between your almost-touching skin.
I want you to know that sometimes, giving just a small part of you is enough."

This 11-week series is an invitation to perceive your body, your surroundings, and the ways you connect with others. Working in a consistent, closed group allows us to build trust, community, and a shared movement language over time.
Serious training with room for play. This is an 11-week series for experienced dancers and movers, blending Gaga-inspired improvisation, ballet, and floorwork with phrase-building work that sharpens your ability to shift quickly, stay present, and move with both precision and imagination.
Into the Wild is Sophie Barbarics’ monthly live‑music dance jam series with DJ Nadine Wildwood —a welcoming space to move big, experiment, and let your body tell its own story.
Visionary program builder and mentor who designs residencies and labs that support artists in researching, refining, and sharing their work with clarity and confidence.
Attuned, high-sensitivity film and movement direction that listens closely to what is happening inside us and around us, translating subtle emotional and relational shifts into precise, embodied images on screen.
