A one day 5Rhythms Dance and Clowning workshop.
An exploration of movement, dance, imagination and the red nose.
OPEN TO ALL
No previous movement, dance or clowning experience required.
During this one day workshop, Emma and Ali will lead you on a journey that weaves the poetic worlds of 5Rhythms Dance and Clown Improvisation. This course is for beginners and more experienced alike. No previous experience is required.
In the dance, we can become aware that the Clown is nearby, waiting to appear as we tap into our playful energies. Equally, the Clown can dream into the dimension of movement and dance at any given moment as part of their journey through the world.
This workshop is all about connection and spontaneity, poetry and fun. Expect 5Rhythms movement explorations, games, exercises and short improvisations to discover the worlds of the clown and the Wave and where they might meet.
ABOUT THE 5 Rhythms
The 5 Rhythms is a embodied improvised freedom of movement practice. Living in each moment, surrendering to instinct and following the language of metaphor as it unravels us into our unique dance.
There are no steps to learn, the choreography is alive in each moment without planning, responding to the music, physically expressing with spontaneity.
The 5 Rhythms Flowing Staccato Chaos Lyrical and Stillness are the map we follow, energy in motion creating a wave like pattern that guide us.
ABOUT Clowning.
Clowning is a state of playfulness that brings us to experience a child-like, naïve and vulnerable state of being. Paradoxically we grow, learn and are strengthened through reconnecting playfully with what makes us most vulnerable. This approach to clowning is not a technique (tricks, gags and routines) but a personal journey towards finding one’s own unique way of being a clown, by listening and being receptive, essential skills for any creative and imaginative expression. It is only when we let go our control over things that we begin to be surprised by the depth of what reveals itself to us.
THROUGH Clowning
We connect to our playful spirit. We develop and sustain in ourselves and each other the courage to be who we truly are, to trust life and ourselves. We befriend the fears that block us from being fully present in the here and now. The path of the Clown is simple, vulnerable and naive reminding us to dance lightly through life.
