A event held at St Werburghs Community Centre on Saturday 9th December. 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 (18th Nov 2023), we will dance to discover and embody our spiritual animal. Activities include:
- Movement meditation guides you to discover animals that symbolize your inner energy, qualities, or intentions you want to embody
- Playful exploration of movement qualities
- Finding movement inspirations through imagination and storytelling activities
- Curious and mindful queries of movements in each body part
Note about spiritual animal:
In many spiritual practices, animal is believed to offer guidance, protection, or lessons to the individual. It can be seen as a symbolic representation of certain qualities or energies that the person resonates with or aspires to embody. The spiritual animal is often regarded as a source of strength, wisdom, and insight, serving as a guide on one's spiritual path.
