When: 20.09.2025 – 21.09.2025
Payatt Intransit is a contemporary movement technique that merges movement principles from the ancient Indian martial art form of kalaripayattu with yogic practices, pranayama (breath work), and energy work to activate
the body’s energy sources. This comprehensive approach trains practitioners in a manner that is safe, organic, and yet rigorous, empowering them to become more confident, relaxed, flexible, and powerful. By incorporating pranayama, this training not only sharpens reflexes but also deepens our connection to our breath, enhancing our ability to cultivate a constant sense
of inner calm amidst physical exertion.The class challenges both our physical and mental frontier, encouraging us to be quick and energetic in our
movements while maintaining a state of mental calmness and relaxation, undisturbed by the intensity of physical activity. Through the practice of pranayama, we learn to control our breath, which in turn helps us to isolate the intense physical aspect of the class from the constant calm within.
Rakesh Sukesh, a dynamic performer, choreographer, teacher, and producer, bridges
the cultural and artistic worlds of Bharat (India) and Belgium. Rooted in yogic philosophy, he earned accreditation from the Shivananda Yoga Centre and enhance his artistic expression through Kalaripayattu and contemporary dance. His training includes mentorship by renowned masters like Jaychandran Palazy, Dil Sagar, Kati
Duck, and David Zambrano.
As a choreographer, his creations span continents, including notable works like Dream of Silence (2011), YATRA (2013, with Joost Vrouenraets), Borderland (2015, with Eddie Oroyan), and May Us Bless the I (with Francisco Córdova). His latest production because I love the diversity (this micro-attitude we all have i) commissioned Vancouver’s Push Festival, is touring in 2025 in USA, UK and Europe.
