MOTION

MOTION = a gathering of movement; a place where there is nothing to learn and everything to remember.

Permisions:

be weird + get lit + feel soft + go deep + move alone + make contact + shake + witness + dance + be danced + tune in + trance out + arrive in your truth + leave connected

Boundaries:

no phones + no outdoor shoes + no talking on the dance floor + no intoxication + no spectating + no crossing other peoples physical boundaries

Our next Session:

***SAMHAIN GATHERING***

The traditional Celtic celebration of Samhain is similar to many cultural calendar markings such as halloween and Dia de los muertos

It is a time when the boundary between our world and the beyond is said to be at its thinnest.

A moment of coming together that acknowledges the phenomena of departing.

For our dance to honour this threshold we’ll be exploring what it is to be connected with something bigger than ourselves.

We can get so tied up in “me, me, me...”

But what is it to connect with this otherness?

To harness ancestral power whilst releasing ancestral pain?

Can the beyond help us connect with something deeper in ourselves for grounding and stability rather than spiritual bypassing?

Never been before?

Feel welcome. This is a large group movement session in which we dance through the 5Rhythms movment map. This natural and powerful exploration of embodiment allows us to easily acces the richness of our individual and collective expereince; opening the doors to somatic process and cathartic ecstasy. It's recommened to bring a full water bottle and layers to move in comfortably.

Timings:

Completing together is always easier when we start together. Arrive early to really drop into the body. I honestly believe the greatest learnings I have recieved have been before the doors close.

• Doors Open: 10:45
• Doors Close: 11:15
• Closing Circle: 13:15

Venue:

We dance in The Great Hall, inside the Richard Hoggart Building of Goldmsiths University, SE146NW (enter via the big main entrance).

With a comfrotable wooden floor that's over 550msq to move in + a juicy sound system + climactic waves of music, this is Londons largest movement space in more ways than one.
