Se Joga (Free Your Body) workshop aims to promote body self-awareness through touch and deep sensory experiences. The intention is to create a safe and welcoming space where each person can explore their own physicality, reconnecting with their most intimate sensuality.
In this context, sensual touch goes beyond eroticism; it becomes a tool for presence, listening, and connection. Through conscious and respectful touch, it's possible to awaken dormant areas of the body, release tension, enhance sensory perception, and strengthen self-esteem. It's about feeling oneself fully, with mindful attention and without judgment.
By allowing yourself to feel and be touched with care and intention, the body becomes a portal for healing, pleasure, and authentic expression. The "Se Joga" Project invites you to dive into this sensitive and transformative journey, where every sensation is an invitation to reconnect with yourself.

About Bellas:
Bellas da Silveira is a trans and Black artist from Rio de Janeiro working across dance, performance, carnival arts and somatic practices. With a background in Afro-Brazilian and contemporary dance, her work centres the body as a site of transformation, joy and resistance. Through movement, rhythm and touch, Bellas creates powerful spaces for expression, healing and collective empowerment.
This summer, Bellas brings her work to Europe for the first time, marking a major milestone in her international journey. Alongside her solo performance Transitory: Between the Feminine and the Masculine - a bold piece exploring gender, race, and self-discovery - she also facilitates the acclaimed Se Joga (Free Your Body) workshop.
Having already impacted over 500 participants across Brazil, Se Joga invites people to reconnect with their sensuality and presence through conscious touch and deep sensory experience. The workshop creates a safe space for exploring the body beyond judgment - awakening self-esteem, pleasure, and authentic expression.
Bellas’ practice is grounded in community, cultural ancestry and the belief that embodiment is a radical act. Her work is both a celebration and a political gesture: a call to feel, to move, and to be fully present.
