Friday night of Layers - Conscious Dance Workshop

Friday night @LAYERS

Dancing through the veil | An immersion in Conscious Dance

This is the Friday night session of the workshop that serves as a taster of the weekend as well as stand alone conscious dance.

Conscious dance allows us to embody emotions and thoughts so we can turn up in life's journey, but sometimes we reach a plateau with no pathways forward, the invitation at this point is to drop a mask (or two) so we can access an authenticity that once was. Dancing like we've never danced before, we take our conscious movement practice to the next chapter, gently peeling back layer by layer until we can safely lead the dancer out from behind the veil.

Our vehicle for this workshop is the Open Floor Conscious Dance practice, journeying through the 4 dimensions of embodiment to realise an authentic version of ourselves.

4 Dimensions of Embodiment

Physical Dimension – Moving the body to increase sensate awareness.

Emotional Dimension – Allowing your feelings to choreograph your dance.

Mind Dimension – Dancing your thoughts and becoming aware of your awareness.

Soul Dimension – Unifying with the oneness that is the mystery of life.

A wonderful dance into a deeper sense of 'Self', an opportunity to move through the facade that hides our raw beauty so we may dance to a fuller, more vibrant and natural way of being!

The story unfolds as we move the body, releasing the tales embedded in the dance of a million masks.

Spending a weekend immersing in dance is a great opportunity to not only deepen your practice but to forge strong bonds of friendship within the dance community. There will be wild dancing and tender moments with ample time to connect, play, rest, reflect and refuel.

There are no prerequisites to attend this workshop, we welcome everyone to join us with at least some experience of conscious dance. We ask that you check in with us if you feel unsure or are new to this kind of practice so we can ensure you benefit from the weekend.

The weekend can be booked at the end of Fridays dance providing there are places available.

“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.”
Martha Graham
