Our meditative being living each instant of present in all its intensity, building foundations for a safe and happy creation." Easy Motion is a contemporary movement/dance experience developed by Pramod. The process starts with the search of our complete presence, through meditations created and guided by Pramod, by Osho's active meditations, sufi's, xamanic and others. The next step is rediscovering our roots, the confidence we need for experimentation and personal discovery. Flying is possible when the connection with earth is always present, a minimum effort for a maximum result. The Easy Motion journey continues working with the form of contact-improvisation that results from the fusion of all the methods that Pramod works with: creative movement and body rebalancing techniques (contact-improv, body-mind-awareness, shiatsu, yôga etc), capoeira, japanese martial arts (judo, kempo and taido), chinese martial arts (toa and flor-de-lótus kung-fus, nunchaku and tai-chi), and also voice and singing techniques, discovering our true voice, rediscovering easiness. For your simple daily activities as a life amateur. Easy doesn't require any previous artistic experience, nevertheless it is a work also indicated for dancers, performers, actors, artists and creators in general, in activity and in learning process, promoting the discovery of a new creativity.

"Contact-improvisation is not a method with pre-established movement phrases, it is more an aproximation to movement, in which the student moves through motivations given by reflexes and intuition (...) The mind becomes the witness of the body and of movement sensations." (Steve Paxton) Contact-Improvisation (CI) started in the 60s int the USA, in a group started by Steve Paxton and afterwards Mary Fulkerton among others. By that time they were trying to find new solutions for improvised movement using Contemporary Dance, Gimnastics and the notion of energy flow from Martial Arts such as Aikido or Tai-Chi. From this exploration of the relations between people apeared the word Contact. CI has been mainly used in the artistic world, in Dance, Theater, Performance and also in therapeutical processes. My way of thinking about movement, makes that at the present moment I feel the need to work with CI has a mean of obtaining a firm mental and phisical base, which allows us and our partners to have the necessary confidence to explore the creative improvised movement in a more free way, one with more possibilities and most of all with greater safety. With this kind of practice we promote the rediscovery of our body, of the interaction with the environment and others, of our dance, of our natural movement...
