Working Class/PuSh Artists with Rakesh Sukesh - Jan 24/26*

Event closed

In partnership with PuSh Performing Arts Festival

Watch Rakesh Sukesh perform at PuSh Festival on Jan 22,23,24TICKETS HERE

Class Description:

Intact is a training method generated through years of research, observation and

adaptation to our current times, while also based on intrinsic human characteristics:

breath, movement, emotion, thought, intention, environment. Its main goal lies on

enhancing humanness in its most raw and genuine form. This method creates a safe and

honest place that embraces and acknowledges our inner world, both weaknesses and

strengths, to learn how to use them through reflection and striving for further

development. It is an interconnected training system that utilises movement as a base to

create, confront and play within crisis. It provides the timespace to get to know one’s

personal form and how to use the body to broaden the range of movement vocabulary.

As an holistic form, it is inspired by tools from specific lineages, such as breath,

meditation and the inner mechanics of yogi principles, while also utilising the

movement and philosophies from kalari payatt. This interwoven structure combines

and rearranges these tools and ideas in a proposal for a new approach. In these classes,

one can expect a dedication to raising awareness to individuality and inner workings,

an awakening of the senses that leads to an ability to control and manage external

triggers. In other words, taking charge of ones self.




Teacher Description:

Rakesh Sukesh, a versatile artist hailing from Bharat (India) and currently residing in

Belgium, is a multifaceted performer, choreographer, teacher, and producer. Rooted in

yogic philosophy, a tradition passed down through his family, he completed his yoga

teacher certification at the Shivananda Yoga Centre. With a rich foundation in dance

education acquired in India, Rakesh specializes in Kalaripayattu and contemporary

techniques under the guidance of Jaychandran Palazy and Dil Sagar. He further honed

his skills in improvisation composition under the mentorship of Katie Duck and David

Zambrano. Presently, Rakesh is actively engaged in performances with acclaimed

groups such as Ultima Vez, Roosana & Kenneth Company, and Bollwerk. Noteworthy

choreographic contributions include productions like "A Dream of Silence," "Yatra,"

and "May Us Bless the I." Anticipated in 2024, his solo production "because I Love

Diversity" explores micro-attitudes and promises a premiere at Push Festival. Over a

span of 14 years, Rakesh developed the Intact Method-Interconnected dance practise,

garnering global acclaim by seamlessly blending yogic principles, Kalaripayattu, and

contemporary dance. Holding a Master's in Arts and Culture Management, Rakesh

co-directs the international dance festival Sanskar and serves as a curator for the Dance

Screen film festival in Switzerland
