Stav Yeini

Choreographer, sound designer and Reiki Master practitioner based in Brussels.
Graduated from P.A.R.T.S (BE) in June 2010.

Her body of work in the last few years consists of developing somatic sound works based on the therapeutic aspects of sound frequencies, the physicality of sound, and the invisible aspects of movement. Shifting from the performative to the visceral, internal and (often) invisible movements that manifest through senses and sensations.
Creating living environments for deep listening as a social and political technologies to cultivate presence through physicality and sonic awareness. Her work is closely related to 'education of the future' for a world and society where the sensuous and poetic mode of being is at the center of all (inter)action. It emphasises sensuous knowledge production arising from a post-economic, ecological consciousness.
