Dancing for Love

Connecting with your body

It's knowing how to say no to what weighs us down or scatters us, so that we can affirm and fully live a big yes to life. Accepting to remain present to oneself in the intensity of waves that rise and fall, in the fear of the unknown and of change.
Inhabit your body to become aware of the tensions that run through it. Take time to release and unbind them, but sometimes also take the time to feel where they're taking us. A contraction? A protective withdrawal? A perpetual flight? Take a moment to welcome and accept. We're not that, but it's a part of us that's often denied and pushed aside. Embrace it with kindness for once.

Open up

This workshop is a personal and collective experience. Dance connects us with our own bodies and sensations. An introspective and expressive exploration. It also connects us with space and the way we move within it. It allows us to express, to give form with our bodies. Dance also connects us with others. My body interacts with other bodies, even without contact, even without looking. Our dances intersect and meet. We exchange and share while staying in touch with ourselves.

A compass

The proposal is to make love our compass, and to explore through dance the moments when we are no longer in love, and the means to return to it. Love is an incompressible impulse of the heart that enables us to accept others as they are. Self-love that guides us towards respect.

For this exploration, we'll visit the Movement Medicine archetypes of the vicious circle and the virtuous circle.
