DANCE and CORE ENERGETICS WORKSHOP- guided practices to shake loose our blocks and melt into the movement around us, within and without.

When we are more empty, when we are more radiant, our dance is more dancing us- we become the vessel for the emergence of something curious and mysterious.

When we dance we are still our whole selves, including our unresolved blocks, unconscious and unfelt emotions and ideas that are driving us. Energy moves fluidly and expansively until it gets trapped, or eddies or swirls around a hardened feeling, thought, concept- located in the body. Then we flood it, or untangle it, or melt it so we can regain what is trapped and the energy continues.

Play and learn and practice to both know yourself more and less. Challenge your ideas of what movement is, and who you are as a dancer.

We will move a lot in this two hour workshop, and we will make some noise, be internal and external---- and have fun.

Saturday December 10th // 12:30-2:30 // $12 drop-in
