In this intensive 4-day training, you will explore how dance and movement can be used as a powerful resource and tool in working with specific outreach populations (i.e., in jails, recovery centers, hospitals, elder care facilities, and schools).
This work is a dynamic movement practice of being in the body that can catalyze deep healing, connection, and creative expression.
As 5Rhythms Founder Gabrielle Roth states, "If you put your psyche in motion, it will heal itself."
In Syzygy Dance Project's own community outreach work, the significant impact of this work is witnessed by helping people make better life choices and be open to new possibilities in their lives
During this training, you will begin in your own body, allowing yourself to move freely and explore your innate movement patterns. You will learn movement exercises and how to support body movement and energetic attunement with others.
You will practice regulating and re-grounding yourself while leading a group, integrating voice with authentic movement, and exploring confident leadership.
The training also involves discussions around specific outreach populations and the challenge of bringing movement classes to groups resistant to or less comfortable with movement.
