SUMMARY:Sexy Imperfections #3
DESCRIPTION:Sexy Imperfections – A Performing Arts Workshop on Embracing Vulnerability & Playfulness\n\n🗓️ 30 April – 4 May 2026 | Thursday afternoon to Monday noon\n a 4-day residential workshop blending:\n ✦ Theatre\n ✦ Dance\n ✦ Clowning\n ✦ Burlesque\n ✦ Somatic Intimacy\nREGISTER HERE: https://forms.gle/53A8GtuacfRFHRnU9 ( https://forms.gle/53A8GtuacfRFHRnU9 )\nJoin Us For The Third Edition of Sexy Imperfections: Awakening the Wild & Tender Body\nSpring arrives not by force, but by courage —\nthe courage to emerge from the unknown,\nto allow yourself to be seen, to open,\nand to bloom.\nBlooming is not neat. It is lush, imperfect, and unapologetically alive. In this workshop, we accompany the emergence of your wild and tender body, inviting what is ready to show up and be expressed.\nThrough play, exploration, and witnessing, we fertilise the soil of our creative selves. This is a space to shed old skins — cultural scripts, protective habits, inherited shame — rewild your body, and let warmth touch places long kept in the dark.\nThis immersive experience invites you to explore sensuality, pleasure, and imperfection through creative, embodied practices. Whether you’re an experienced performer, a shy strawberry, or an unapologetic weirdo, there’s space here for all your identity expressions.\nWhat Makes This Workshop So Special?\nWe believe that this unique combination of performing arts sparks creativity and self-discovery, and that a focus on intimacy and sensuality invites deep personal transformation. The methodology offered is a distinctive, authored approach.\nWith three facilitators working with a small group, we offer attentive care and presence, creating space for personal processes and creation, one-to-one support, safety, and genuine connection with the group.\nDuring the workshop, we will:\n– Create an intentional and supportive space, guided by SOMATICS and EMODIED INTIMACY\n– Play with the elements of BURLESQUE to EMPOWER and rewild your seductive self\n– Explore SELF-LOVE and WITNESSING each other through this practice\n– Through a legendary CLOWNING SEXY SCHOOL, we’ll playfully deconstruct stereotypes of seduction\n– Craft DIY NEW GENITALIA to expand imagination through absurdity \n– Experience the power of PSYCHOMAGIC in the context of consent\n– Present a performative act in a final grandiose CABARET SHOW\nMore information about the facilitators & practices\nJusti Tutti Gusti (she/her) is an educator, community artist, and performer with a BA in Fine Arts and a Master’s in Adult Education for Social Change. With over a decade of experience in community arts, in her creative work, she draws inspiration from burlesque, clowning, butoh, ballroom culture, theatre improvisation, and the work of Bill Plotkin.\nHer methodology, Burlesco Wacko, has been presented at gatherings and festivals in Germany, Cyprus, and Portugal. It invites participants to explore seductive self-expression through playful dance, theatre, and performance.\nIn a daring space where weirdness and failure are celebrated, you are invited to discover your “seductive wacko”. By exploring the performative nature of sexuality, we will delve into our (un)conscious desires and fears, unlocking new possibilities for artistic inspiration. By shedding the skin of learned habits, we can witness each other in an utterly silly, yet deeply meaningful, creative process.\nRiccardo Russomanno (he/him) With over 11 years in the creative industry, Riccardo combines art direction and visual arts with the playful spontaneity of clowning. His work focuses on reconnecting people with their innate creativity, inviting them to embrace the joy of artistic expression. From street performances to animated collages, he explores the beauty of imperfection and the magic of collective creation.\nHave you ever wanted to connect more deeply with yourself, transforming flaws and vulnerabilities into powerful resources? The clown offers a unique perspective—a non-conventional master who shows us how to live life as a comedy, filled with authenticity and joy.\nIn his workshop, participants will explore through the clown’s methodology, how to access a state of creative presence. By resourcing from the emotional body the participants will learn the magic power of failures as tools for growth. The clown’s honesty in expressing feelings transforms difficulties into opportunities, turning life into a joyful performance.\nDani Kassif (she/her) is a facilitator of Contact Improvisation workshops and retreats, with a rich background in contemporary dance and choreography. Her work explores improvisation, the power of pleasure, and relational healing. In September 2025, she graduated as a SOMA Intimacy Practitioner after a two-year intensive training in embodied sexuality.\nRooted in a somatic approach, Dani shares tools for regulation and creates a soft space that holds the workshop together with care and supports personal processes to unfold.\nParticipants will be invited to explore the practice of self-love and the potency of witnessing others, moving between authentic gestures and the experience of being seen to tap into a deeper quality of presence.\n\nSchedule Outline\nThursday \n15:00-17:30 – Arrival and check-in\n17.30-19.00 – Connect and arrive in your body \n19.30-21.00 – Special dinner\nFriday, Saturday, Sunday \n10:00- 21:30 Workshop sessions and evening activities\nSunday \n20:00-21:30 – Cabaret Show! & party \nMonday \n10:00- 12:00 – Closing circle\n–––––––––––––––––––––––––\nWhere: \nSerVivo, Palmela\nPrices:\nPrices include 4 nights’ accommodation in dorms/tent/own van and 11 meals. \n370 – 470 E Early bird until 30 March 2026 \n410 – 510 E Normal price\nFor other needs or adjustments, please contact us.
