AI KI DO // Claudia Heu (AT)

Aikido is a Japanese martial art. The practice focuses on the development of one's own presence, the process of health and the joy of the movement. A practice path that sharpens the capacity for conflict resolution and self-empowerment.

Aikido starts with one's self. With one's own attitude. "Stand and raise up, stretch upwards and open the chest, then you can breathe properly." Noboyuki Watanabe Sensei says. The energy begins to flow, the own size and presence is revealed. The created space opens up new possibilities in dealing with oneself and thus also with the other.

Claudia Heu teaches aikido, presence and performative practices in public space, at the Music and Arts University of the City of Vienna (MUK), the Max Reinhard Seminar, the Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance (SEAD), the Salzburg Performance Tagen, the ImPulsTanz Festival, the ZZT at the University of Music and Dance in Cologne and the University of New Mexico.
