Venue
We’ve decided on Circuit-Est for our Open Day because it aligns with our initiatives for movement education and creative development. The space has supported movement research and artistic exploration for over 35 years, sharing our focus on education through practical experience. Like Circuit-Est, we value accessibility and meaningful learning experiences in movement awareness. Their environment provides an appropriate setting for introducing the Baseworks Method as an exploration of the intersection of movement and cognition, branching into perception and creative thinking.

On the impact of developing body-awareness through embracing gradual progress, accepting limitations, and maintaining patience while learning and growing at one's own natural pace.
Daria (United Kingdom | Journalist, Digital Producer)
As a dancer, I experienced numerous injuries and reached a point where only dancing could no longer maintain my body's health. Incorporating Baseworks into my routine allowed me to sustain my dancing career. Baseworks enabled me to cultivate and grow aspects of my dance practice that previously relied solely on the more resilient athleticism that was more prevalent during my youth. Baseworks allows me to observe and understand my body on a deeper level.
No other practice has encouraged me this much to be aware of my own body, to see and work with my limitations. My posture and sleep got better. I've got a higher self esteem, and I feel better overall. Also the mental control and awareness have a very huge impact on my life.
As a person who has never been athletic and does not have the greatest "body awareness," I really appreciate that Baseworks has provided me the platform to develop this in a safe and effective way. Regular practice has helped me gain confidence, decreased my nerves/anxiety/fears and helped regulate my overall mood to deal with stress more effectively.
What I appreciate about Baseworks is how its methodology resonates logically with me, promoting a sense of autonomy in my practice that I find deeply satisfying. There's a distinct sense of professionalism. Everything feels polished and well-designed. You get the impression that all the instructors are genuinely committed to teaching consistently. This is an aspect I have rarely found elsewhere, and I believe it's one of Baseworks' strongest points.
Although ballet emphasizes correct form and beauty of movement, it can be taxing for the body. As a ballerina in training, I had a lot of injuries that typically required chiropractic and osteopathic interventions. Yet, I feel like Baseworks is really beneficial for body conditioning.
I got more confidence in my body, how to use it, and how to control it. Before Baseworks, I always had heaviness in my shoulders, and it was difficult for me to keep my spine straight. my shoulders were at different levels. So, after practicing Baseworks, my body became more straight and aligned. Also, I felt very awake and happy, and relieved from all the stress that I had.
Entrepreneurs are told that they have to go to the limit and destroy themselves, sacrificing their wellbeing. The Baseworks principle of managing intensity with its practical part can help entrepreneurs apply in life in other facets. I was fascinated by this transference.
I feel I get everything that I need in Baseworks practice. Doing one program is very good for me. Basically, it’s the same exercises, but still, in Baseworks, it feels like I'm learning something new in every class. I get so many more dimensions in every exercise that we do. Sometimes, it’s really the small movements that make the difference. Even though it's the same, I just realize things. And that feeling of realizing something, it’s very good!
Baseworks helped me to feel more aware of my body, helping to generate a better sound and more confidence when I am on stage.
