"Hard times require furious dancing. Each of us is proof."
Alice Walker"
A dedicated space-time to enter the underworld, the mythical imagination, and witness the dance of the energies we have marginalised.
We have been called to reimagine the world, call back what we have sent to exile and co-create our mythical movement.
In times of hard separation, we humans are challenged to answer the call of the heart, to enter the underworld, the mythical imagination.
Theories and politics failed us, the mind further divides, emotions are out of control and communities are struggling to hold. So, we turn to the mythical body, to the ancestral wisdom of storytelling and move and write by the communal fire this winter.
“Have you come on your own volition or you were sent by someone?”, Baba Yaga asks at the gates of the other world.
We have all learned the hard way that a one sided and right answer will not satisfy her.
In a suffering world, humans are called to the in-between, righteousness no longer serves us. For the soul to ascend, the ego must descend.
We stop asking, where is our community, we inquire, what the community needs from us.
Open Floor is an embodied movement practice designed to align the physical and the emotional body, the mind, and the soul. Participants become grounded and centred and learn to recognise the body's limits, to listen and to take care of it. Dancers become resilient and creative with their emotions and move from the stories of the mind to an emobodied and soulful state of being.
