EXPLORING CONNECTION IN MOVEMENT with Alex O'Hearn
October movement lab will be an exploratory space inviting folks into connection with others using eye contact, mirroring, and we'll even introduce basic lead-follow dynamics utilizing simple touch. In this realm of connection, we will explore individually and discuss collectively themes of energetic sourcing, deep listening, and what energies inspire aliveness.
Live DJ : 7:25-9:05p: Servant of Dance (Nata Das) Live Set
Servant of Dance (Nata Das) ensemble that has been in Asheville for the last 12 years. We are musicians who observe, support, and hold space for the connection between dancers and musicians formed during a live dance/music event. One common thread in the music of NataDas at this point is Trey Crispin, the curator and leader of these ensembles for live performance. He has been performing live ecstatic dances for 15 years. NataDas – Servant of Dance – is a group that creates a deep moving tapestry of sound that looks to the movements of dancers as our written music. In our opinion everyone gets farther when we do these things together and not alone. Live music and movement connected are the medicine we bring to our community.
Sound Healing: 9:05 - 9:15
TBD

Guidelines
-VOICES on the dance floor: The dance floor is a talk-free zone. This allows dancers to engage in movement as a meditation, to go within, and to be more embodied without distraction in proximity.
-VOICES off the dance floor: We have created a tea lounge and chill space off the dance floor and quiet voices are encouraged in order to engage with others in a different way when you're not dancing.
-SHOELESS: We ask that you are shoeless in the space. If you have a physical reason to wear shoes, you are welcome to - we simply ask that they are not shoes you wear on the street.
-RESPECT: Be respectful of yourself, of others, and of the space/venue.
-PHONES: the dance floor and chill spaces are phone free zones. This allows dancers to be present fully.
Beat Church was started in San Francisco in the early 2000s by the amazing DJ, Neptune, who saw a need for a new cutting edge underground dance offering.
We want to continue and build on that tradition here in Asheville for the existing vibrant dance community.
