Movement along a full spectrum of expression, communication, self-authoring,
and resolution.
Exploring the full spectrum of our own bodies’ facility for dancing, by listening to our appetites, and allowing impulses to move us, we will go on to explore allowing
impulses to arise without pursuing or acting on these. While developing skills for
observing ourselves and our impulses, we will add an external focus opening out to others and their dancing explorations, curious about what an invitation from another could be, giving time to sensitised active stillness. The intention is to find a dynamic balance for expression and listening, moving and responding, exploring notions of balance, synchronicity, moderation, and reciprocity. We will also be writing sporadically to reflect on how we communicate, express, converse, and maybe this can be in a way therapeutic - in that this process could reveal how we can make different choices in how we connect with others, becoming more and possibly feeling more secure and resolute in how we relate to ourselves and others. You can also come and follow your own needs for movement and rest whatever those are as we dance together.
This event is part of our workshop series that explores themes of home, migration, displacement and diasporic knowledges.

I’m interested in the transcendent in the everyday and the everyday in the transcendent.
I think about different ways of gathering and different kinds of invitations, collaborating and inventing with people, places, ecologies, and materials.
This season I’m intrigued by what is and what will be, with tenderness, discerning when I'm invited to assist, and how to gently give space for forms to take shape with and without my collaboration.
