KALEIDOSCOPE
5 Rhythms & Ecstatic Dance Workshop
5th - 7th April | Rome
with Emma Leech & Massimo Passante
A Movement Metaphor 5 Rhythms and Ecstatic Dance lab that will unlock the poetic with authentic movement investigation. Shattering the illusion of the ego to letting go of who we are not to create space for who we really are to come through. Shifting into New perspectives of ourselves, feeling into all that is possible.
Beauty is on the inside. We are all made up of the same parts: bones, flesh, blood.
But when put together, we are unique living beings.The light going into the kaleidoscope is life, the colours and geometrical shapes created through this are an individual’s personality, their soul and being, which is where the beauty is found.
We are all kaleidoscopes.
The 5Rhythms is a Movement Practice routed in the body’s instinctive expression, that releases us from our ‘overthinking’ mind. It helps to reconnect us back to our authenticity in a poetic and dynamic art form.
Each of the Rhythms offers a different quality of energy that opens up a dance that, is fluid, fiery, edgy, wild, jazzy and zen.
In name the 5Rhythms are: Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness.
When we move with them in this sequence, it creates a wave of embodied energy. Each one a teaching that opens to the other. A Movement Art and Meditation. No steps to learn, improvised, spontaneous dances are unveiled. The self-consciousness is overcome by giving our fascination over to our body’s movement language. Every dance is unique, we dive into the unknown mystery that reveals us to ourselves in our diversity, there is nothing that can’t be danced, a safe place to study what it is to "be" a human being.
