A event held at St Werburghs Community Centre on Saturday 21st October. The event starts at 17:00.
Dance with Flying Fox is a mindful dance journey with live music tailored to dancers’ moment-to-moment vibration, coming home to our bodies and exploring our authentic movement, emotion, social connections, and spirituality.
The framework of Dance with Flying Fox is rooted in Taoism and dance culture from southwest China, where dance is part of our daily life. In this dance culture, we dance to imitate, exaggerate, elaborate, communicate, and transform our experience of life; men working in the field, women doing laundry by the river, children playing, fox preying… It is a way of keeping in touch with our experience and embodied process through moving perspectives. I also blend in various movement traditions and psychotherapy, e.g., sufi-dance, movement meditation, contact improvisation, existential psychotherapy, and expressive art therapy.
Key elements of my dance journey include:
• Finding freedom of motion in our emotional, social, physical, and spiritual being. Letting go of judgments.
• Widening our dance repertoire by increasing awareness and breaking away from habits
• (Re)establishing connections to ourselves and others with loving intention
In this session (21st Oct 2023), we will work on centring our flow, including:
- Playful exploration of balance and off-balance in your movement
- Research the contrast in your flow and develop inner harmony
- Widening your musicality with sonic healing by Jerome Wright Music
- Develop authentic connections with others, in unison, in alternative harmony, or in contrast
"Centring" is a spiritual and therapeutic practice in many cultures.
"In the center of the cyclone, one finds stillness and serenity. The center of your being is the center of all existence." - Laozi
“You find peace not by rearranging the circumstances of your life, but by realizing who you are at the deepest level. The moment you find your center, you are free to rise above the chaos happening around you." - Eckhart Tolle
