“Golden Ratio” – A sensorial adventure  

A 45 mins sensorial journey by Valerie Renay (writer/ narrator/ singer)

Live music and video projections by Sebastian Lee Philipp

 

Phi is a number of approximately 1.61803 that appears everywhere in nature.

The familiar spiral shapes the tail of a seahorse, sunflowers, deadly tornados, snails, seashells, the winds of hurricanes, galaxies. 

Phi appears in the measurements of our bodies, our DNA, architecture from the pyramids to Le Corbusier, the Holy Bible, paintings from Leonardo Da Vinci to Dali, music from Bach to Debussy.

Does it mean the world was intelligently designed, and not a cosmic coincidence? Or is the golden ration nothing but a human invention, to prove the existence of a higher order of things? 

Somewhere deep in the Amazonian forest, the answer might be found.

‘Golden Ratio’ talks about the universe, and why we're here by titillating our senses in unusual ways. It talks about beauty and our need to believe. It involves feathers and blindfolds, a light breeze on your skin and running in the woods, the strong scent of Lilies and the feeling of walking bare feet on beach sand. An hypnotic voice leads you through a journey starting with the sound of the primordial vibration of earth, ending with acapella singing in complete darkness. It immerses the audience in an environment providing delicate yet powerful sensations. 

 

 

"My Blood Is Thicker Than Yours"  

40 minutes performance by Valerie Renay (performer/director/writer) 

Live music & projections by Sebastian Lee Philipp

 

Femme Façade’s performance intertwines the result of her research into ritualistic practices such as voodoo with her own personal quest for a meaningful life. In her stylised world Valerie in turn ‘Great Modern Priestess’, or deceived woman, explores the notion of belief, female power, ethnicity, life, and death. The concept of ceremony, sacrifice, symbolic act of purification are revisited accompanied by tribal rhythms, loaded text and choreographed actions. 

It includes Valerie getting into a trance and dancing with a knife in her mouth!

 

“Possessed”

45 minutes solo by Valerie Renay (performer/director/writer) 

live music by Sebastian Lee Philipp

 

 A surreal journey through human psyche, flirting with different notions of identity. Different femme, different façade, ever changing, morphing, playing. The same always. Exposed intimacy. Human. Wanting, waiting, hoping, laughing, crying.
A story of compulsions displaying good timing, stylised actions and stylish aesthetic.
“I live in a monochrome world. My obsessions are clandestine, my desires, stripped down, I will tell you a secret or two, will bare my soul to you but there is a gun in my handbag and a charming little blue vein on the side of your throat”.

Valerie offers:

​

Deep relaxation for the body and the mind

​

Using breathing, muscles and bones manipulation (pushing, pulling, shaking, squeezing), massage, visualisation, sound and focused energy, I will bring you to a state of deep relaxation, releasing all tensions and stress, and clearing blockages, allowing the body to heal itself.

The session can help get rid of chronic problems such as back ache, and neck tensions while improving general health and mood!

During the individual session you will be laying down comfortably. I will be ‘reading' your body to locate areas requiring attention. Bringing in elements from several practices, including:

  • Shiatsu

  • Release Technique (focusing on “ease of movement” and “fluidity” through release of body weight into the floor, letting go of habitual patterns)

  • Body Weather manipulation (a Japanese practise moving muscles and bones)

  • Energy transmission through focus in a similar way to Reiki

  • Tibetan singing bowl sound/vibration and other percussions.

The release of muscular tension will often affect the mind and allow for emotional release and help with depression, grieving, anger repression and all kinds of similar things while helping with back ache, neck/shoulder issues, and improving general body alignment.

The session encourages a positive outlook, confidence, self love, self care, while increasing general flexibility and well being, towards balance, harmony, strength and a serene mind. All aspects participate in strengthening the immune system.

The sessions are given in Kreuzberg, or at your home, or outside in warm weather. It lasts approximately 75 minutes.

Please send a personal message for more information and booking a session.
