RETREAT BY INVITED PRESENTER

How can our dance inspire art?  How can art inspire our dance?
Using the 5Rhythms map, we will open our creative channel and step into the practice inviting artistry and guidance. We will explore art-making through movement and embodiment. We will experiment with materials on the dance floor as well as in an art studio. We will use this process to inform the act of creation, both on the dance floor and in the art studio—then end the weekend in ritual.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

5Rhythms is a dynamic practice to both exercise and meditate in the same breath. The rhythms—Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness—help us become attuned to the underlying patterns in our everyday existence. Through them, we peel back layers, and lay our masks down.

While dancing we will experiment with combining art-making materials and movement. In the art studio we will create artworks inspired by the visions and guidance received while dancing. We will work with: drawing, painting, collage, printmaking, sculpture, photography, found objects, nature and more. Feel free to bring your own art supplies as well. The art studio will be open for 24 hrs, from the beginning of the workshop until its end.

ABOUT 5RHTHYMS

Created by Gabrielle Roth and practiced by tens of thousands worldwide, 5Rhythms® is a philosophy, perspective, performance art and a dynamic movement practice rooted in the principle that if you put the psyche in motion it will heal itself. Movement is both the medicine and the metaphor, reaching across all languages, cultures and age groups to transform suffering into art, art into awareness and awareness into action.
