Open Workshop Amsterdam - February 2026
This workshop offers an immersive exploration of movement, adaptability, communication, and creative problem-solving. We work through the core principles of the Fighting Monkey Practice — Zero Forms, Movement Situations, and Metacognitive Reflections — to develop physical dexterity, long-term resilience, and meaningful personal practice.
This workshop welcomes movers, coaches, dancers, athletes, therapists, teachers, and anyone curious about improving the way they move, think, and relate.
What You Will Explore
Open Games & Play
Play as a foundation for learning, adaptability, and long-term movement intelligence.
Rhythm & Coordination
Develop clarity, coherence, and whole-body connectivity through rhythm and timing.
Creativity & Agency
Build your own practice — don’t rely on masters or fixed systems.
Action & Perception
Explore how we make sense of the world through movement and dynamic environments.
Movement & Communication
Improve how you express, collaborate, and respond in demanding situations.
Who It’s For
Open to practitioners from diverse backgrounds — dancers, martial artists, therapists, athletes, educators, creatives, and anyone exploring the deeper layers of human adaptability and embodied learning.
No prerequisites; we work with what we have.
What to Expect
Dynamic tasks, partner situations, creative challenges, and applied practice.
We explore movement as a dynamic dialogue between body and mind, between partners and environment, between structure and improvisation.
Expect an environment that is welcoming, challenging, and rich in discovery.
