You'll engage in various simple movements, sometimes dancing rhythmically and sometimes doing slow, conscious, exploratory movements, occasionally incorporating writing, drawing and working with simple props like paper, a chair or scarf and all set to a diverse musical backdrop. Play with different forms of perception and questions to create space for your emotional, imaginal, and physical "thinking" and give your (in the) head-dominated thinking a well needed rest and support.
As you learn how your emotions play in your body, you will become more aware of their necessary messages. Instead of keeping everything around you unmoving and controlled, you can figure out how to respond or behave and use your whole body intelligence to move with the present moment. Then, making decisions, relating to others, and generating solutions feels more like a dance than an impossible task.
So bring your messy, confused, grumpy, melancholic, bored, nervous, awkward, shy, goofy, depressed, excited, anxious friends and let's play!
