OCTOBER 18-20 TUSCANY LETTING GO- THROUGH DANCE and LIFE

Nature, thermal waters & dance

Montauto, Toscana, Italy

Immersed in the forest and in consonance with Natures cycle, we will focus on the experience of letting go in our physical movement and personal lives. We will also experience this in the thermal waters of  Terme San Giovanni Rapolano In physical movement terms, we can associate “letting go” with different bio mechanical concepts: tension and relaxation, structure and flow, grounding and dynamics, acceptance and rejection, centrifugal and centripetal forces, spiral dynamics. 

The same paired concepts will be associated with the nature around us, in water and within us. We will then playfully apply these principles to and through a mix of dances and movement disciplines: Contact Improvisation, tango, fusion dance, tai chi, play fight, aquadance and somatics.We will relate these movement principles to our own everyday life deriving from them possibilities of resilience, flexibility and longevity.In this way, our movement, dances, inmersed in nature, in water and shared with others, can derive a fruitful inner clarity.

This workshop is open to people of all levels of experiences interested in movement creation as a path of knowledge, healing, communication and personal enrichment. Dance jams, cooking, relaxing in water and wondering together in nature, will offer us plenty possibilities to get in touch in a moving way with ourselves and others. 

FOOD COSTS & PREPARATION:The wide Montauto professional kitchen will be available for us to use for a minimum weekend contribution ( between 100E to 150E for the whole group & weekend).
