We gather in circle.
Pause. Take a breath
together. Step back with open arms to
honor the space in which we move. The
chime rings and we begin. Each finding our place in the room. Eyes closed, waiting to move or be moved.
I’d like to invite you to the practice of Contemplative
Dance and Authentic Movement - a kind of
moving meditation - an exploration of yourself,
your body, and space done in the presence of a witness. It is used by some as a spiritual practice to
create a connection between the body and spirit. It can also be a creative fountain that removes
your creative blocks and unearths new creative material. And it can be a healing tool that helps
you bridge the gap between the conscious
and unconscious.
Each 90-minute session includes a guided
movement warmup, a movement session, plus time for creative forming/journaling
and sharing of experience.
For those unfamiliar with the practice or who would like to
reconnect with it, there will be an introductory session on
February 24th which will include an overview of the history of the practice, the role of mover and witness, and of course, movement
sessions to begin to experience the practice yourself. This introductory
session is $15.
Those who attend regular sessions should have
attended an introductory session or have experience with the practice of Contemplative Dance/Authentic Movement
You will want to wear comfortable clothing that allows for
freedom of movement. You may also want
to bring a notebook or journal, and a water bottle.
Students of all movement backgrounds are welcome.
In order to facilitate free exploration, we seek to create a
safe space for all types of dancers and movement artists to explore creative
expression. The class is open to all genders
18 or older.
*$15 price is for the introductory session only.
**Five session cards are good for one year from date of
issue.
This venue is not mobility accessible.
