Masonic Lodge
890 Church St,
Mountain View, California
An Open Circle is an intentional container that we
dancers co-create with our bodies and our attention. We are both the movers and
witnesses to each other's experience. In an Open Circle, there are three roles
to choose from at any moment: mover, witness, and the space in between.
Movers are free to move in and out of the center of the
circle as you feel drawn. You can choose to dance the whole time, witness the
whole time or any combination thereof. You are free to move alone, with others
or the group body.
The Witness is one who is receptively taking in what's
occurring and unfolding, noticing what you are sensing and feeling inside and
outside of you, as you take in the movers and the ever-changing dance before
you.
The space in between is the fuzzy place between mover
& witness where you are exploring the pull to be in the center or to stay
as the witness. The attention is on your internal sense of what's next for you.
A musical soundscape designed for movers to creatively
explore emptying and calling in will be offered. You are also invited to bring
a journal or simple art supplies to support your journey.
We'll gather at 7:00 pm with a short arrival window
(doors close at 7:30) and end by 9:00 pm, leaving plenty of time to head on to
other celebrations.
Dinner together at a nearby restaurant will follow class
for anyone inclined to join us.
