Art in Motion
These online movement and writing explorations are a safe space and an opportunity for body sensations, e-motions, words, stories, beliefs and inspirations to emerge.
You don’t have to be a dancer or a writer.
We begin with movement, then we pick up the pen and write from the heart.
We dig into the ground of our inner soulscape.
We call back what we have sent to exile, with compassion for the wonky,
and love to the messy. We don’t judge, we face our judgements.
We dive into the source of our own creativity with humbleness and compassion.
We make the invisible visible.
Metamorphosis
Moving with your inner myths
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 each session we move through a particular mythical image. We dance paradoxical energies and explore othering with curiosity and compassion.
In its essence we find our offering to the world.
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.
Consciousness calls us to some outrageous action.
"Hard times require furious dancing. Each of us is proof."
Alice Walker"
How to nourish unity, when there is so much you feel opposed to?
How to love in the face of global violence & hurt?
How to live and breath, when others are given half a chance to survive?
How do you recognise the other within, when there is so much you disagree with?
No more freezing in the margins.
We find our ground and move in the centre.
No more pointing fingers to the tyrants.
We dance and explore through the body.
No more staring into the light.
We put our back to the moon and follow the shadows.
It is easy to be Vassilisa the Beautiful,
but how does Baba Yaga moves through you?
You may identify with the Handless Maiden and the Hero,
but what is the dance of the Evil King?
“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.
Art in Motion
What happens: we move, we write, we give form to the invisible, we shape-shift.
Where does it happen: on zoom, I play music, you dance at home, we come to the screen and write.
Who with: a group of maximum 9 people who like to create space for their authenticity, writers who seek inspiration, dancers who love to write, and anyone willing to show up.
What supports us: The Open Floor map, the music, and the love for being true to ourselves.
TESTIMONIALS
"I would highly recommend this experience with Villy..she brings her love of music, movement and the written word together and offers such rich poetic space to explore and to touch in on this miracle we all live..
What stayed with me is the particular magic and texture of each voice, the intimacy and beauty that was created, the deep listening..the echoes..
Really rich and gently healing"

"Thank you for your deep, beautifully build classes. I accessed parts of me that had never had a voice before."
