Sensual Athletic Raving fuses deep body awareness, raw physicality, sensitivity and high energy states. Through guided improvisational scores and somatic exploration, we tap into the body's sensual intelligence, meet our inner athlete - the inner space where presence and discipline meets abandon - and movement becomes embodied dreaming
workshop
A creative somatic process on connecting with sound and spaces- inner body / interpersonal space / collective space / universal space. In a playful way we devise choreographic situations in which we explore moving through these different, layered spaces and perceptive states. In that framework we develop our compositional sense deriving from an understanding that in our sensory experience everything is relational-how dramatic tension lives in the principles of contrast, polarity & unity and how that allows our dancing bodies to inhabit and morph into a wide scope of expressions.
In the beginning of the session, we are bringing attention and focus to the physical body, the site of our creativity and expression. The warm up is designed to open and bring flow to the body and to access varied physical-energetic states.Through embodied practices we open layers of sensitivity and perception that connect us in new ways with our internal and external environments. Attuned to these ever renewing streams of sensation, we activate our inner athlete, a presence of full commitment of spirit, heart and bodymind with which we continue to open up our physical energy and enter deeper into the flow of our dancing. Grounded and present in the senses and sensitivity, we hone our creativity on the dance floor. We enter the state of rave, a dream-like perceptive state transcending ordinary boundaries where new levels of imagination open as we ride the spectrum of our physical energy. As the creative agents of our process, we continuously choose how we relate to the music, the space and the body of the collective, expressing the unfolding potential of each moment.
