POETICS OF THE BODY Episode : TOUCH - Dance Workshop & Somatic Temple

A JOURNEY INTO THE ART OF TOUCH & MOVEMENT / Episode: Touch DANCE THEATRE, SOMATIC PERFORMANCE, INSTANT COMPOSITION & EMBODIED RITUALS In this workshop and dance journey we explore the poetics of the body and the language of senses. Guided by powerful somatic scores we flow into dance improvisations and embodied research & rituals. We compose with and through our soulful bodies and embodied souls, exploring the poetics of touch, movement, senses and visions. We create from the depths of our flow, widening the wings of our perception into the totality of our composition. Moving through inner and outer worlds, we connect deeply with ourselves and eachother. We explore how dance and somatics can unfold between the sensing and the dreaming body. Dancing, playing, flowing, creating, we are moved to move. Touching and being touched by the depths of our interbeing. We create and inhabit 'spaces of meaning'. Our presence is the place to create from and create with. We will work both individually and with a partner and explore dynamic group scores. We will play with eyes closed and open. The journey takes us into researching, mastering and exploring the expressive layers of touch and movement. It deepens and expands our skills and aliveness as a dancer, performer, bodyworker, somatic therapist and sensorial being. We explore the many layers of presence and connection. Widen our vocabulary of touch, movement and body states. DANCE & BODYWORK TEMPLE After the workshop we have dinner together and open the somatic dance temple. The temple is a free flow open space where we play, explore and enjoy the fruits of the workshop. 'Somatic Space for the Enlightened Animal' is facilitated by Maya, with a live set by DJ SON.
