Soul Motion: the practice
This drop-in class is an experiment in aliveness and motion, open to any body over 15 willing to show up for the ride. We travel across the four landscapes of Soul Motion: Dance Intimate (solo), Dance Communion (duet), Dance Community (ensemble) and Dance Infinite (prayer space). Different practices, structures, and points of view are offered to facilitate the journey on any given day. The witnessing of another’s or of the collective dance is also part of the pleasure.
We move to an eclectic mix of music from classical to experimental. Music arrangements are in-out-in-out sequences to invite awareness and presence in the moment. Slow passages are often included as well as passages through the Great Sound of silence.
Rather than a dance class, this is facilitated inquiry into embodied consciousness through movement. Beginners are always especially welcome, because you help us wake up out of our habitual patterns as we experiment with ourselves and with each other in this our awkward and magnificent journey of self-discovery and belonging.
Logistically speaking ...
- Please note, 8th Street Studio is a barefoot dance space. Only some leather soled, non-marking dance shoes are allowed on the floor. This is the studio’s policy.
- Even though official start time is 5:45 PM, to make more time for arriving and warm-up, we have music playing at 5:30. Please whenever possible arrive around 5:30 and stay for the whole event.
