Do you think you can't write/can't dance? Silence that inner critic, take one step after another and move like you've never moved before. Put pen to paper and watch the words flow onto the page. All without effort.
In this workshop you will learn practical and magical methods to inspire your writing and hone your dance. Our bodies remember everything we've experienced. Tap into this knowledge and write from the body, let the body tell its stories. Learn to listen, dance yourself free and unleash the stories within.
We will move freely from dancing to writing and back to dancing. No need to be polished or clever. No experience required. Come just as you are and join others doing the same. All sharing of any writing is optional!

Embark on a journey of self-discovery and creative expression! In this workshop we will listen to our body whisper its stories. The dance floor becomes a discovery zone where we move and include everything that shows up: the good and the bad, anxiety and exuberation, joy and sorrow. There are no steps to follow, no right or wrong moves.
We will create a safe and supportive environment in which we dance with abandon, let colours flow and poetry arise, while following the "Song of the Body. Expect to surprise yourself. Play and explore your creative side. Every body welcome. No experience necessary. |
