What is FICHO training?
It's a Body, Mind, and Spirit Training Through Dance Improvisation and Creation. Since 2006, the Ficho method and Dance Alchemy tools have been evolving and undergoing testing through regular weekly practice. These approaches integrate contemporary methodologies and ancient knowledge for personal and societal transformation.
This entails a study in dance and contact improvisation, body-mind-spirit practices, and dance therapy. Participants are encouraged to discover authenticity, advance in personal growth, enhance kinesthetic and emotional intelligence, foster creativity, strengthen courage, self-assurance, self-awareness, and clear communication.
Through consistent practice, participants cultivate an autonomous, relaxed, fluid, intuitive, and conscious body, one that communicates in harmony with their true selves. This enables them to create a lifestyle grounded in freedom.
In Ficho training, all conscious adults and change leaders are welcome, regardless of their dance experience and background, who wish to:
Advance personally and professionally by gaining a deeper understanding of their body, mind, and spirit.
Boost their energy levels through breathing techniques and core activation.
Restore body flexibility through dynamic yoga, conscious movement, and dance.
Expand their range of movement, free expression, and performance with simple improvisation tools that are applicable to everyday life, work, and relationships.
Improvise and express their creativity like never before in a safe, inspiring, fun, and intelligent environment.
Elevate their level of kinesthetic and emotional intelligence to become more attentive and balanced.
Experience magical moments of complete body awareness and connect with their profound potential.
Learn and apply our unique Dance Alchemy tools, grounded in dance improvisation, contact improvisation, and mind-body-spirit practices, to unlock bodily wisdom, invite joy, and unleash their unique dance expression, enabling them to create a lifestyle embodied in freedom.
A holistic approach, a playful process, and an inclusive environment. Every-Body finds its own path!
Statements of Ficho training participants
What is Ficho?
Ficho is a great combination of different things: breathing exercises, yoga, tai chi and last but not least - Dance
Not boring
Invites more movement and openness from everybody
Stepping out of the comfort zone into the dance world, discovering another side of yourself
A creative, playful space
Creative-dance-movement provocation
Open classes for non-dancers and beginners, an influx of new energies
Get the spirit out of the body
Variety, quality, heartiness
It is unidentifiable. It's Ficho. A completely unique combination
Good combination of movement, dance with other approaches and skills
Relaxation. Without some rigid frames. Adapting a leader to a group. Improvisation. And everything you do is fine. Nothing is wrong or right !!
Expands the mind, heals
A combination of routine and creativity, structure and freedom.
If your Ficho trainings were to close tomorrow, what would be the hardest thing to find elsewhere?
Movement Innovation
A place for safe and intimate exploration of contact through movement beyond established norms and structures, openness and knowledge of how I as an individual learn movement from myself, contact in a group
the possibility of expressing oneself through movement, searching through motion, getting to know one through motion, not one that is choreographed by the choreographer
Unloaded, open minded
Creative team work
Freedom of movement
Open-mindedness, a sense of well-being in the group, experimentation
I would probably stray because various Pilates, Yoga, Fitness, Zumba and other things really don't appeal to me.
That the place where you are accepted just as you are
Enthusiasm, humor, a good selection of music
Flexibility. Playfulness… which of course comes from the leader :)
Softness, intensity of training and such a mix of participants :)
Why is Ficho unique compared to other trainings? What does Ficho offer that others do not?
Broad spectrum: personal growth, physical activity, creativity, analysis of well-being, experience
Comprehensive exercise, all parts of me engage, very deep warming, preparing my body and mind for a new experience, I actually learn something new each time about moving, myself, or getting in touch with others
You come to dance in the middle of the week and leaving with a uplifted free spirit
Creativity, playfulness and collaboration without competitiveness
Playfulness, creativity, searching in our own depths, great combination with breathing, connecting, we are all part of the same whole, creativity in search of movement and expression of our own potentials
A higher level of awareness of movement and consequently dance
Be here and now, work on yourself
Serious stuff packed in a games inside the support tribe
Good balance between structure and freedom of expression through movement.
'Empty the body' principle and some other approaches in dance and body work
A combination of movement, dance, creative, tribal. And yes it is a structure that gives security while still being flexible enough to accommodate the mood of the participants.
An abundance of joy and beauty that comes from the '' natural '' inner movement.
So many different techniques and energy in one place
If you had to tell a friend about Ficho training in one sentence, what would you say?
We create magic together
Come see, it's really remarkable, something special that you can dance the way you never would have thought you could.
A holistic approach to my creative movement needs in a relaxed environment
Experience helps me in my day-to-day work in guiding people, because I better recognize where my energy is in my body when I give directions and I am more clear and determined when I want something
Goran is a great coach, with a very sophisticated approach, you'll love it. You don't need to know anything before, everything you need will teach you along the way ....
Being fine and discovering a place for creativity and experiment within the training, that all members of the group feel well and that the training is always physically demanding enough that you have the feeling that you really did something for yourself and for your body at the same time however, it all worked like a game.
A changing experience
Playful and safe getting to know your own body and what it can do in the context of improvisation
It is psycho physical training. Dance. The game. Techniques. Contact. Stretching. Breathing. Sweat. Shearing. You have to try it!
This kind of training where we play, hunt, dance, go crazy. Like one week of therapy :)
Movement, dancing with some guidance and a great deal of inspiration.
Super physical activity, good people, a place to express yourself through dance
A training that balances body, mind and spirit
It is a place for my other parts of myself, which are harder to come to terms with in everyday life
What Goran offers is so remarkable that you could stand in rows in front of the hall. The opposite of the instant culture we live in, however, is the challenging, confronting oneself in a very unmasked way
