This gratis Open Day offers a comprehensive introduction to the Baseworks Method. It combines movement practice with theoretical insights that explore how perception and action are intertwined in daily movement patterns, influencing creative thinking and professional performance. Participants will discover approaches to raising body awareness and physical and cognitive skills that can transform both physical practice and creative problem-solving.

People have a range of different outcomes when they practice with us. Listen or read below to get some perspective.
With Baseworks, I started taking better care of my body, thinking more long term with my body rather than short term. In Baseworks, the teachers have a lot of focus on the physiological impact. Personally, I am very inflexible, having done a lot of sports throughout my life, and there was a clear understanding of helping me and giving me extra additional support, which I really appreciated. And the guidance wasn’t just like, "you have to do this position this way", but also why you have to do it in that way, which I really appreciated.
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.
When you take Baseworks classes, one of the key things is that you should be more in a rest-and-digest mode in all the movements and don't push yourself above that level. If you're translating that into the daily life, at home or at work, you start to think in certain situations, “Do I need to push myself into this more stressed state? Or can I keep myself relaxed, and by that influencing others and maybe help others to avoid becoming too stressed out?” Of course, you cannot control it to 100%. But if you can reduce the amount of stress, it’s only good for yourself and for the environment that you interact with.
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.
