Ecstatic Dance is a freeform practice, without any structure or choreography. The essence is to discover intimately personal movement, inspired by your own creative, emotional, soulful, and nourishing impulses. At the same time, many of us have developed particular ways of connecting with others in the dance, making it even richer and deeper. And by "connecting" we mean not only through direct touch/contact, but also by weaving a field of communion together. If you are familiar with practices like yoga, Tai Chi, or even sitting meditation, you know how much more powerful they can be when done in a large group.
Our "micro-workshop" will be a series of playful explorations that are lightly facilitated, with a bit o' time for sharing observations. Over the half hour, we'll experiment with different ways of connecting to others in Ecstatic Dance: in pairs, in small groups, and with everyone at once. Contact/touch is optional. We encourage everyone to join us, whether you consider yourself a newbie or long-time dancer.
This micro-workshop is complimentary with paid admission to Ecstatic Dance Corvallis. If you want to participate, please arrive in plenty of time to check-in and be ready to start at 7:00pm. In any case, the unfacilitated warm-up for Ecstatic Dance begins at its regular time of 7:30pm.
