Expressions of the Elemental Body
Join us for a 6 week dive of somatic movement practice exploring connection, creativity and embodied expression through the intelligence of the cyclical body.
Through dance, somatic inquiry, functional movement & creative exploration, we cultivate physical awareness, movement intelligence and expressive capacity.
Inspired by the rhythms, patterns and intelligence of the natural world, we move through sensation, rhythm, flow, ritual and relationship, allowing movement to emerge from within rather than from fixed forms, in this way we decolonise dance and movement.
At its heart, Expressions of the Elemental Body is an exploration of movement as a way of connecting with ourselves, one another and the living world. It invites us to experience the body as a source of creativity, expression and embodied knowing, deepening our capacity to move with awareness, freedom and authenticity, and to discover how movement can become a form of relationship, ritual & connection to something greater than ourselves.
