Katinka Wissing

I am based in Copenhagen where I teach movement, parkour and dance at Rört Copenhagen, Street Movement and Game Copenhagen. Besides this, I am about to finish my master in Social Sport Science and Humanities at the University of Copenhagen. I have a bachelor degree in sports science, a dance education from Tanz Fabrik Berlin and an education in contemporary circus from AFUK, Copenhagen. I study, I dance, I teach and I spend a lot of time in my little garden growing vegetables and reading literature. I am very excited about these beautiful containers of life we call bodies and how they relate to and are formed by what is around them. Personally and professionally I am engaged in exploring how we create better lives, better communities and eventually a better world through diving into our bodies and learning from our bodies through movement. I believe that through this journey, we gain knowledge on how we want to live and create opportunities for transformation. I see this as the stepping stone for creating communities, spaces for art and for conscious conversations. I believe we need each other in order to transform our lives and the world. I am interested in how our movement practices affect the way we relate to ourselves, to others and to the world. I have personally experienced that by engaging in a playful, creative and kind approach to my movement practice it has created a healthy, enjoyable and sustainable practice while building better relationships. Furthermore, by letting go of judgement and thoughts on good/bad, right/wrong, we create space for listening to ourselves and our surroundings in a more open hearted and transformative way. As a teacher I therefore find it necessary to create trustfull learning environments where people get to feel, know more about themself, where we try to eradicate a judgemental and performance oriented attitude towards movement and instead build communities and feeling bodies.
