RHYTHM · MUSIC · THEATRE · MOVEMENT
Everything is Dance
Within the human being lives an ancient, indestructible need: to express the life-giving breath within and to inquire.
Through rhythm, dance, music and theatre, our meetings approach Dance beyond given forms—the Dance that begins within. All these ways of expression are one.
A movement accompanied by a cry, a facial expression, a gaze, breath, the vibration of speech, a song or even silence can carry an inner state and leave its trace.
A very old Path through a contemporary Way.
Dance begins within
What trace would a movement leave if it were accompanied by a cry? How certain and grounded would it be if the whole person participated? If the cry were gradually removed, leaving a resonant breath and finally only the movement carrying that quality of vibration, how unshakable would it become—and how deeply would it touch both dancer and witness?
Dance begins within. One may labour to perform every given movement perfectly, yet if the inner concern remains fixed on flawless execution or outward appearance, the whole person is not dancing; there is no inner dance.
These meetings are for women who wish to explore their nature through the womb, for men through the fire of the moving centre, and for all who wish to explore themselves through dance.
For those who ask: is the human being only what is already known, or also Something Else—a Dancing Being?
