Deepening Practice - Exploring the art of connection on the dancefloor

3 part series:

Oct 17 - Between You and Me

Saturdays 2-6pm @ Yellow Church, Mullumbimby

Come to one, 2 or all 3.

This is an invitation to practice together.

Hi, my name is Caitlin. I’ve spent 14 years investigating and teaching what it is to move with freedom - by myself and with others. The stories and assumptions we travel with, how we interact, the way we move through space, what freedom of movement actually means. How to connect with my body, my needs, and respect the needs and bodies of others in a shared and collaborative space. How to include myself and others in community, with all of our differences. How to be honest, and develop the courage to show up no matter how I’m feeling. How to use dance as a learning ground for being a whole human with other humans in a rapidly changing and often challenging world. How to resource and nourish myself through the practice, and through surrendering to the vulnerability and the strength of being a part of something much bigger than me.

We will start each session together with a chance to drop into the body by dancing a wave based movement cycle, and from there, explore the theme through a series of movement and connection enquiries, developed from the conscious dance practices of Dancing Freedom and Open Floor.

Let’s dance.

Things to note-

It would be best if you have some prior experience of conscious, ecstatic or improvisational dance practices. If you’re not sure, please check in.

Payment plans and partial scholarships available, please contact us if you need support to get there.

Please plan to arrive on time, stay until the end, and bring water to drink and clothes you can move freely in, layers to stay warm or cool as needed, a notebook and a pen or pencil to write with. You may also like to bring a blanket and cushion for your comfort.
