Resilient Rivers with Vanessa Grasse
https://unpluggeddance.com/workshops-posts/resilient-rivers/
The last week of Unplugged Dance is dedicated to slowness. From offering more agency to our nervous system, to sensing Otherness through a tangible approach. Learning from and for the world of fluids, nurturing ecological ways of being in relation and practicing co-movement while listening with your skin what exists beyond it. If you are seeking a gentle, systematic, and informative approach that bridges self-research with partnering work, you shouldn’t miss this week.
Who is it for?
We believe in the extraordinary benefits that dance can offer to every person, developing them both physically as well as intellectually and socially, and we consider how this project can be a bridge between the professional field of Dance and the wider community of people who are interested to learn, explore and benefit through movement and Dance.
In these practices both professionals and participants without any previous experience can organically coexist, deepen in their own quests, and approach the methods according to their present state of body and mind.
This is why the format of mixed groups of professionals and non-professionals is our conscious choice to encourage the act of dance as an experience open to everyone.
If you wish to meet, share, dance and self-explore through movement and creative process you are more than welcome, regardless of previous experience in dance.
