TIN* Embodied Practices

A movement-based and self-development space dedicated to TIN* bodies (Trans*, Inter*, Non-binary, including agender and genderqueer identities) and the lived experiences of people identifying outside traditional cisgender definitions.

This practice draws inspiration from the experiential anatomy of Body-Mind Centering®, the breathwork of Ilse Middendorf, Authentic Movement, Feldenkrais, and other somatic movement approaches. Touch, hands-on and partnered work, dance improvisation tools, and collective reflection are woven together into an integrated somatic movement framework grounded in consent, autonomy, and care. The intention of this space is to support the cultivation of confidence and resilience in our physicality as TIN* people, nurture bodily autonomy, and develop touch literacy within a supportive and conscious community.

Each session begins with a guided somatic movement practice focused on developing anatomical tools for self-observation. We work with the five cardinal lines (arms, legs, spine), the four corners of the trunk (shoulders and hips), the three primary weights (head, chest, pelvis), and the two sides of the body. These principles support participants in orienting within their own physical architecture and cultivating embodied awareness. From this foundation, the practice expands into communal movement and shared spatial authorship, including time for integration and reflection. Movement is framed as relational, political, and spatial practice in its own right.

Lux, also known as Luxifera, is a trans femme, gender-nonconforming Italian artist based in Berlin. A movement facilitator, bodyworker, DJ, and performer, Lux intertwines somatics, movement, art, sound, politics, and gender. With a background in dance, performing arts, facilitation, and embodied practices, she creates methodologies centered on bodily agency, touch literacy, and spatial awareness. Lux’s work is informed by her experiences navigating transness in artistic spaces, nightlife, and bodywork environments, as well as daily encounters with structural violence and the exercise of expanding her existence beyond the binary. She fosters inclusive, non-hierarchical spaces for reconnection with the body.
