Eva Urbanová is a choreographer, dancer, and somatic practitioner whose teaching grows directly out of her artistic research on transformation, sensory intelligence, and the monstrous, shape-shifting body. She works with students ranging from children to advanced professionals, offering a deep and accessible approach that connects physical technique with imagination, somatic presence, and intuitive embodiment.
Rooted in contemporary dance, somatic practices, butoh, and her own background in rhythmic gymnastics, Eva’s teaching explores the body as an intelligent, relational organism capable of shifting states, intensities, and identities. Her classes invite participants to enter altered modes of sensing—where movement becomes a site of curiosity, liberation, and expanded perception.
Her pedagogical approach is structured yet open, weaving together body scanning, guided improvisation, sensory awareness, touch work, and imaginative activation. She leads students through a progression that cultivates physical skill, emotional resonance, and embodied self-trust. Eva’s aim is to create environments where participants can access the intuitive, the subconscious, the poetic, and the uncanny layers of the body.
Central to her teaching is the belief that movement is not only a technical practice but also a tool for personal transformation and creative rebellion. Through somatic intelligence and sensory exploration, students learn to tune into their own rhythms, discover new pathways, and work with an expression grounded in authenticity rather than stylistic imitation.
Eva adapts her methods for diverse groups—children, adolescents, beginners, non-professionals, and seasoned practitioners—making complex somatic and imaginative processes feel approachable and empowering.
