Saturday CI Workshops: Minding the gap… [ ]

With Guest Teacher Lalitaraja, November 14th

14:30-18:30, Acland Burghley

What’s the point of meditation for CI dancers? One answer might be to train ourselves to recognise the gaps in our attention, where we lose the dance and forget to listen. One of the goals of meditation is to come into direct relationship with our lived experience. Short meditative exercises exploring relaxed awareness, clear knowing and engaging the heart mixed in with plenty of dancing.

[ ] In her Underscore Nancy Stark Smith identified a gap as a “temporary absence of reference”. We’ll be looking at how to re-establish our points of reference!
