Prague Movement Assembly 2026
PRAGUE MOVEMENT ASSEMBLY 2026
A 5-Day Immersive Event in Movement, Creativity & Human Adaptability
The Prague Movement Assembly is our intensive annual gathering — a central meeting point for movers, artists, thinkers, educators, and curious practitioners.
Over five days, we explore how action, perception, and sense-making through interaction continuously shape one another in the ongoing process of adapting to our environment.
Rooted in Fighting Monkey Practice, the Assembly is not a festival of techniques, but a space for focused research, learning, and exchange.
We do not meet to receive a prescribed method. We come to test ideas, expand our practice, and participate in a shared laboratory of embodied intelligence.
What You Will Explore
Open Games & Play
Keep playing to stay sharp, mobile, and engaged throughout life.
Rhythm & Coordination
Learn to move with clarity and coherence, rather than constantly trying to “fix” the body.
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.
Movement & Communication
Move and express yourself in ways that allow you to resonate clearly and respond flexibly.
Structure of the Assembly
5 days • 2 main practice blocks per day
The daily schedule creates an open and adaptive workspace shaped by the needs, questions, and dynamics of the group. Instead of rigid sessions, we cultivate a continuous flow of practice, reflection, dialogue, and creative exploration.
Each day includes:
sustained movement practice
partner tasks & communication training
creative problem-solving
integration, discussion & applied learning
This structure allows the group to move naturally between challenge, experimentation, restoration, reflection, and deeper understanding — supporting genuine development rather than simply delivering content.
Who It’s For
This learning environment is designed for people from diverse backgrounds — movers, artists, dancers, therapists, teachers, martial artists, engineers, athletes, and anyone exploring the deeper layers of human adaptability and embodied learning.
It is suited for:
practitioners seeking to deepen their personal practice
coaches, therapists, artists & educators looking for fresh tools and inspiration
anyone curious about the interplay between body, mind, and communication
If you are drawn to play, research, discovery, and improving the way you move through life, this event offers a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in a rigorous yet welcoming learning environment.
Human development thrives on rich interactions, variability, and continuous dialogue — in movement and in thought.
