BALANCE AND GRAVITY
5RHYTHMS WORKSHOP WITH ERIK IVERSEN (CANADA)
We are grounded by our connection to the earth. Our feet magnify this relationship and nourish sensation. Opening our feet to receive the weight of the body creates balance, understanding, and a feeling of self support. Movement flows from the feet up. Root to rise.
This is a foundational 5Rhythms movement adventure rooted in gravity and in our relationship to our functional, energetic and creative balance. Standing in relationship to the earth our feet provide us with the only source of contact with the ground. Sensing this ground force reaction leads us to the discovery of our movement patterns from the ground up. At this gathering we'll look into the relationship between proprioception and balance while investigating our full body's relationship to the intelligence of our feet. We'll cultivate and revive this life force flow by also balancing conscious breathing and movement. With these two elemental forces, feet and breath in balance, we'll establish a playful presence for a dynamic dancing event.
