Our vision for Ecstatic DownTemple is to create a seamless
flowing journey that supports ever deepening connection to self and other.
There's a special medicine provided by deep, slow, and connected movement. This
is not a venue for dancers to get a sweat on, the cathartic peaks we seek are
more spiritual and heart-felt than physical.
A simple definition of Ecstatic Dance is “Bass Music
Culture meets Conscious Dance”. In that light, the heart of Ecstatic DownTemple
is Bass Music, which is what sets it apart from a typical chill space or
ambient music contact jam/freeform movement space. While the music will have a
wide dynamic range including moments of ambient beauty--including acoustic and
organic textures and instrumentation--there will be some powerful bass and
cutting-edge electronic music in the mix.
