A event held at St Werburghs Community Centre on Saturday 25th March. The event starts at 17:00.
Dance with Flying Fox is a 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 the session on 25th March, we will focus on the theme of growing intention:
- Embody our intention through mindful movement meditation aligning with the growth in the season of spring
- Explore movement in its dualities, light and darkness, synchronicity and asynchronicity, lead and surrounder, sharpness and softness, know and unknown,
- Play with the formation in group dance
- Celebrate the spring equinox and light with a mixture of different dance cultures, Sufi, Pagan, Bai……
