I hope this Self Study series allows a new way to practice and follow threads and let things unfold over time. We filmed it in the woods of West Wales in 2021, and are now able to offer it to you, with awareness and journal tasks, optional Facebook group and access to the material for 3 months
5Rhythms series guided by Alex Mackay with live music by Joe Caswell
An online self study comprised of 4 on-demand sessions
We are all moving with change - through phases of life, through personal challenges and blessings, from one chapter to another.
In this 4 part series we’ll explore how change moves our dance and how we can befriend transitions rather than work against them. The sessions are an invitation for beginners and seasoned dancers alike to explore the creative potential that moving with change bears and a special opportunity to dance to percussive live music from Joe Caswell in the beautiful woods.
Session 1: Identifying changes in the dance
In this session we dance with special attention to the bodyparts. We practice switching between them, while moving to the special melody and rhythm of live music.
Session 2 : Within and Without
This week we dance a wave through the maps of inside and outside. We learn to shift our attention and our movement inwards and outwards, while including our bones, skin and breath into our dance.
Session 3 : Befriending moments of change
In this session we dance with focus on the transitions between the rhythms of flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical and stillness. It is a moving invitation to befriend transitions and moments of change.
Session 4 : Creative practice & the spontaneity of improvisation
This session offers the opportunity to discover the creative potential and spontaneity of the dance, while moving to improvised live music. We’ll explore the possibility to expand beyond ourselves and include the unknown, nature and mystery into our dance.
4 sessions (50-60’ each) + welcome & intro
Available on-demand March 21 - June 30, 2022
Each session comes with two optional tasks for your creative process and for your own further exploration: journaling, awareness, dance. You’ll also get access to our private facebook group specifically created for participants of this course.
Sliding scale 50£ - 80£
Discounted rate for 5Rhythms teachers and spaceholders.
