Creative Dance Meet-up PROPS

It’s not you dancing, it’s the scarf! You just help it move. And inevitably you move too. In new ways, breaking the patterns of everyday life.

This meet-up is all about dancing with props.

In solo improvisation you can notice
How does the scarf move when you throw it up?
How does it move when you pull it behind you on the floor?
What trace does it leave in the space as it moves?
Fully immersed in the movement of the scarf, you think of nothing else. Your mind clears and your body is in flow.

In duet improvisation you can tune in with the movement of the two scarves. This helps you tune in with your partner in movement. Working from the outside world and connecting with your inner worlds. That is the flow together.

If you find yourself stuck in the same movement patterns and want to break out of them, you will benefit from this workshop. Using an external object can show you the way to new movements and open your mind to new thoughts. You will feel a difference in your body. You will feel a relaxation and a deep sense of fun after giving your body the chance to move in novel ways. You will notice your mind has opened up to a fresh viewpoint of situations that might be puzzling you in the moment.

This workshop is for you, if you want to move but don’t know how to initiate it. You want to move more, dance more, even at home, even alone, even without music. This workshop will show you where you can start. And then when you go home, you can dance with a towel in your kitchen while waiting for the toast to bake, with a scarf when you put it on or take it off, you will start having impulses to move more and in new ways in your everyday life.

We start as usual with energizers and ice-breakers, followed by a breathing ritual in the group.Then we take off with the topic of the session, dancing with the props. At the end we wrap it all up with a relaxation and a sharing round.
