🌿 More about the Soft Core method:

Soft Core is a metaphor of resistance against a strong and stable center. How can softness, delicacy, or weakness be our creative inspiration? Thanks to them, how can we dive together towards deeper relaxation and listening to each other? Rub honey on wounds, cracks and holes in us? Soft Core is a movement-based collective education that emancipates embodied sensory experience as an equal knowledge of body and mind. He does not avoid critical thinking, nor play and experiment. It is reflection, contemplation and immersion in the study of movement, but also throwing off coats and breaking free from the shackles of everyday life.

At the same time, Soft Core asks: What and how shapes our individual and collective body? Personal experiences, social relationships or global challenges? How to stay aware of these challenges, not become reactionary but responsive? Can dance help us with this?

Soft Core can be disoriented, crooked, slumped, tired and paralyzed by the world around us. We will use improvisation as an antidote to prescribed thinking and, without over-romanticisation, we will try to find reciprocity through movement that is not given in advance, often turns in a circle and may not have a clear direction - false movement. However, we will try to look for the ability to act in this movement.

It is a safe space that tries not to offer one template, a quiet discipline.
It is a safe space where things can fail, but then be re-created in mutual dialogue.
It is a space in which we actively work with consent, trust and constant search for mutual care. Because listening remains essential.

🌿 SOFT CORE is initiated and facilitated by Eva Priečková in cooperation with the Telocvičňa area.

Since 2015, it has been hosting movement education for people of various movement experiences and skills. Participants come from different professions and backgrounds. Eva tries to offer a kind of horizontal line.

🌿 Eva Priečková (Berlin, Bratislava) is an interdependent dance artist, facilitator of dance education Studio - Soft Core. She received her master's degree at the University of Performing Arts in Bratislava. As Eva Priečková/False Move, she organizes workshops, lectures and events that combine embodied movement experience with critical thinking about the body and relationships. She is interested in dancing in different groups, ecosomatics, mourning and celebration rituals, learning to move within and around oneself, and dancing outside the ballroom. Eva facilitates exercise courses for different groups of people - social workers, the Roma minority and the elderly. She is interested in the potential of dance education towards social justice, interpersonal responsibility and emancipation from the unconscious repetition of normative behavior. For her, dance is an act of the impossibility of taming bodies, curious observation of the world around us, imagination, awe or sensitive listening and everything that cannot be expressed in words. She is currently a doctoral student at JAMU in Brno.

More info about the approach:

SOFT CORE is a metaphor for resistance against a strong and stable center. How can softness, tenderness, or weakness be our creative force? How can we use them to make us dive together towards deeper rest and mutual listening? Smear honey on the wounds, cracks and holes within us? Soft Core is a movement-based collective education that emancipates embodied sensorial experience as equal awareness of body and mind. It doesn't shy away from critical thinking or play and experimentation. It is reflection, contemplation and immersion in the exploration of movement, as well as shedding coats and unshackling oneself from the only living reality to imagine "otherwise" together.

At the same time, Soft Core asks: what and how shapes our individual and collective bodies? Personal experiences, social relations or global challenges? How to remain receptive to these challenges, to become not reactive but responsive? Can dance help us with this?

Soft Core can be disoriented, tilted, falling, tired, and paralyzed by the world around us. We will use improvisation as an antidote to prescribed thinking and, without excessive romanticization, we will try to find mutuality through movement that is not predetermined, often revolving in circles and without a clear direction – false move. However, we will try to find the ability to act in this movement. To practice an agency.

We will prioritize movement tasks through the method of guided improvisation, somatic trips, contact work in pairs, triads, groups. We will practice consensual touch and the so-called "safe and brave" space.

It is a safe space that embraces differences, problems, conflicts and discord.
It's a safe space that tries not to offer one template, a silent discipline.
It's a safe space where things can fail, but then re-create themselves in dialogue with each other.
It is a space where we actively work with consent, trust and a constant search for mutual care. Because listening remains essential.

The studio is initiated and facilitated by Eva Priečková in collaboration with the Telocvičňa space. Since 2015, Eva has been hosting movement education for people of different movement backgrounds and skills. Participants come from different professions and backgrounds. Eva tries to offer a kind of horizontal line. With our differences, what can be the common ground? And is dance a medium through which we can connect?
