1. OceanDance
A unique approach to our being in the water. It combines freediving, relaxation, meditation, contact dance and improvisation. From outside it looks like a beautiful dance in the multidimensional space of water, at a depth of 0-18 meters. From the inside is the experience of flying, total freedom of movement and self-expression, a state of playfulness and joy, a feeling of support and pacification… the embodiment of everyone childhood dream, to fly.
In this unique form, you will learn such vital skills as
-freediving basics for underwater movement explorations
-bodily awareness at rest and in motion
-reducing your stress response
-interaction in contact with another person
-foundations of natural dance and movement
-practical tools for effortless movement in and under water
This material significantly enriches the experience of freedivers, opening new experiences and horizons of development, freedom, and joy in the water. It also enriches the experience of dancers, by giving them new and unusual information from the water and its quality of effortlessness, feeding their dance with inspiration and creativity.
For people who have no experience in dance or freediving it is the way to discover themselves through a source of lightness, play, and pleasure.
The teaching system is authoring, at the junction of dance, somatics, psychology, and freediving, that Alexandra Bezrodnova and Mario Blanco share with their students and colleagues around the world.
The OceanDance content will be divided into two different parts.
1. Freedive for dancing. 21 - 23 Sept. Basic freediving knowledge tailored for the movement practices.
2. Dance and movement in the water. 24 - 27 Sept. Introduction to movement through Contact Impro in water, Somatic and poetic explorations and the study of evolutionary and developmental patterns.
If you already have experience in underwater dance (or in freediving on one side, and freediving on the other) you might want to join the Deep Practice gathering on the following week.
