There is nothing new under the sun! And yet what is already there invites us to dive deeper into the layers of our presence; to seek a conscious yet liberated and sovereign place to dance from. Together we will be zooming into our physical, emotional and mental foundation. We will be working with the sensations and anatomical make up of our bodies, directing our awareness to responses for inner and outer stimuli. With the aid of more analytic, anatomical images and various artistic tools (i. e. writing, drawing, producing sounds etc.) we will be working with our bodies, discovering relations between our feelings, thoughts, postures and movements.

Building awareness of our perception system in action, gradually allowing habitual patterns to change, we will find our own resources for resilience: strength, flexibility and endurance. Principles from Experiential Anatomy, Developmental Movement, Authentic Movement, Expressive Art Therapies and Contact Improvisation will be at our guidance to relate to our own unique self and reach out to dance with others. Let's fly out together (dancers, non-dancers) into an elevated flow, experiencing self-sufficient, self-satisfied and effortless bodies as we dance.
