ECSTATIC DANCE & RADIKAL FLOW

With Ben Pavlidis we are hosting another internationally renowned and edgy artist from the ecstatic dance scene. 

Ben is known for his slightly different musical approach and his musical origins go back to the urban dance culture: More WTF than OM Shanti Vibes, and in his sets you can hear that he is an extraordinary talented musician as well, hailing from Berlin and the Hip Hop Scene.

You might even catch him adding some live vocals to some of his tracks. 

However, he knows how to get the crowd moving and keep dancers sweating throughout the evening.

What is Flow? Discover playful approaches on how you can create and sustain these states for yourself. Ride the sweet spot between letting go and control, surrender and release, or just in the FLOW. Flow goes far beyond improvisation and drill skills. It's a state where we are completely focused and present, allowing us to flow freely and effortlessly.For the past 25 years, Ben Pavlidis has been continuously exploring flow in various forms of expression, including freestyle rap, music, movement (martial arts, capoeira, qi gong), dance (waving, hip-hop, contact improv), and object manipulation. Lately, he has deepened his interest in scientific flow research. The essence of all this is reflected in Radical Flow workshops and courses, enriched by diverse, intuitive exercises. Each exercise serves as a flow trigger, pushing us just far enough beyond our limits so that we can surrender without collapsing.

Was ist Flow? Entdecke spielerische Ansätze, wie du diese Zustände für dich erschaffen und aufrechterhalten kannst. Surfe den Sweet Spot zwischen Loslassen und Kontrolle, Hingabe und Aufgabe oder einfach nur im FLOW.

Flow geht weit über Improvisa4on und Drill-Skills hinaus. Es ist ein Zustand, in dem wir komple@ fokussiert und präsent sind, was uns ermöglicht, frei und mühelos zu fließen.

Ben Pavlidis erforscht seit 25 Jahren kon4nuierlich den Flow in verschiedenen Ausdrucksformen, darunter Freestyle Rap, Musik, Bewegung (Mar4al Arts, Capoeira, Qi Gong), Tanz (Waving, Hip-Hop, Contact Improv) und Objektmanipula4on. In letzter Zeit ver4e[ er sein Interesse auch in wissenscha[liche Flow-Forschungen.

Die Essenz all dessen spiegelt sich in Radikal Flow Workshops und Kursen wider, angereichert durch vielfältige, intuitive Übungen. Jede Übung dient als Flow-Trigger und stößt uns genau so weit über die Grenzen hinaus, dass wir uns hingeben können, ohne zu kollabieren.
