At the foundation of the Open Floor Movement Practice is the 4x4 weave: 4 dimensions of embodiment (physical, emotional, mental, and soulful) layered with 4 relational hungers (solitude, connection, belonging, and Spirit). This weave is the terrain of all our dances, and where and how we dance on the Open Floor.
The Spaces Between is a series for those who have already participated in Fertile Ground (or Bare Bones) and are ready to deepen into the seen and unseen relational dynamics that show up on the dance floor...the 4 relational hungers. At the core is the understanding that relationship isn't something we DO but that we ARE, and learning to move gracefully within these realms while through all levels of our Being can make life rich and more meaningful. Potential themes include: boundaries, dancing your yes/no, consent (both physically and energetically), spatial awareness, and mutual responsibility (moving from ME to WE).
Pre-requisite:
Completion of Fertile Ground (Bare Bones) or 1+ year of steady practice in a facilitated conscious dance practice such as Open Floor, 5R, Soul Motion, Movement Medicine, Dancing Freedom, etc. (If you’re unsure, PM Teresa to discuss soulrotation2010@gmail.com).
