The nature within us

Exploring the qualities of the 5 elements through Shiatsu and Dance

This workshop guides participants to find connections between the dancing body and the natural flow of energy within and around us by discovering the five elements (Earth, Water, Wood, Metal, and Fire) as expressed through the meridian system (energy pathways) that run through our bodies.

We will explore the qualities of the elements by following the physical location of the meridians on the body and practising how to balance energy through self-bodywork technique (Shiatsu), movement patterns, as well as imagery and improvisation tasks, allowing us as we dance to embody the endless qualities of the meridians: fluidity, grounding, compassion, and adaptability, to name a few. As we crave to find balance and harmony both physically and emotionally, this exploration will encourage participants to discover the five elements within them, to learn how to take advantage of their unique characteristics through the awareness of the meridians and to feel open to new possibilities of movement, inspiring our creative spirit.

This workshop is open to professional dancers and anyone who likes to move and dance. No previous dance background is necessary.
