Others inspire all sorts of feelings in us: positive
ones, negative ones – every possible texture, tone, and frequency. Sometimes we
act out or amplify these feelings, sometimes we try not to notice them – and
sometimes, in an effort to stay with our own experience, we avoid others
altogether.
What would our lives – and our relationships - be like
if, instead of investing and re-investing in our likes, dislikes, and
pre-judgments, we remained openly curious about the feelings we inspire in one
another?
In this workshop, we will use the physical and energetic
language of the Open Floor Movement Practice to explore and express our natural
responses toward one another. Instead of fixating on or ignoring these
responses, we will practice including them, with awareness, in our dance. As we
allow the many textures of relationship to move through our bodies, we can
experience a new sense of fluidity and authenticity in our needs, preferences,
and attachments. Using mindful movement practice, we will investigate and
develop our innate curiosity, including it in our range of habitual responses
so that we may move from prejudice and separation toward a sense of openness,
connection, and peace in the company of others.
This workshop is an excellent (even necessary!)
foundation for Andrea’s Libido workshops.
