Contemplative Dance Practice is a meditator’s dance hall or a dancers’ meditation hall, this practice provides opportunities to develop awareness of inner and outer rhythms, deepen mindfulness disciplines, and provide a container for cultivating acceptance of what is arising in the body.
We will arrive together and settle in with music opening and warming up the space.
We will then do a short sitting meditation before entering into Personal Awareness Practice and then Open Space where we encourage kinesthetic delight and a growing curiosity for what is unfolding for ourselves first and then others.
We continue listening deeply to the movements of the breath and consciously trust our own not knowing.
Near the end of our session we will explore spontaneous composition in the Red Square Practice where a thick red rope is laid down on the floor, our gaze rests with the room and the Square. Nothing much is happening. Just waiting. Then something comes. Like a fish leaping from water, we see in our minds eye a glimpse of our self in a still posture in the Square. We rise up, walk into the Square, and inhabit what we see.
We will end with music guiding our way to a warm closure and a short closing circle with each person who wishes to speak expressing what they experienced and what they saw.
We dance every Thursday (and once a month Sunday)…hope to dance with you soon.
