Nakedness is something that is acknowledged, that one is conscious of. It is a state of mind and of the gaze” Gualdoni - The History of The Nude

The workshop delves into techniques such as Alexander, Kinesiology, Release technique and Martial Arts to help integrate the body for posing and modelling for the camera.

How do we pose? How does movement and body integration aid in modelling? Where does inspiration come from in the body? How can we express from within rather than recreating a shape?

The workshop delves into these questions and more to explore how we can access the deeper parts of ourselves to reveal and express rather than simply recreate.

Hi, I am Alessandra Massi, Embodiment Coach and Sensual Dance facilitator at INTIMASSI. I help individuals move from their disconnection and guide them into a more accepting and loving state in which they can experience themselves fully, awakened to the magnificence of the life around them and inside them.

I support others to reunite with the power that comes from dynamic self expression available through sensual dance and creative arts.

I am a partner/lover, mother of three, dancer, creative, and a playful, warm and affectionate human.

I am enamoured by words and language. I am comforted and soothed by poetry. I studied visual arts 2D and 3D (sculpture) My inspiration is the human form. I have a deep love of capturing a mood, a moment, an emotion through a lens. My self photography is a celebration of who I am, all of me, all of my faces and facets, my beautiful distortions, my flesh.

I am multilingual- Spanish, French, Italian, English.
