In Eastern Philosophy the energy is expressed through pathways known as Meridians, which are divided into five elements – Earth, Water, Wood, Metal, and Fire. Each element is expressed through different qualities, which we experience throughout our daily life.
In this workshop, we will explore the different elements, their qualities, and how they are being expressed through the dancing body. We will explore and follow the physical location of the meridians on the body and practice how to balance the energy through self-bodywork technique (Shiatsu) and some stretching. We will continue to affect the energy through the moving body using imagery and improvisation tasks to allow our dancing bodies to embody the different qualities of the meridians such as – fluidity, grounding, compassion, and adaptability, to name a few.
As our bodies and minds crave to find balance and harmony both physically and emotionally, this exploration will encourage dancers to discover the five elements within them and how to take advantage of those characteristics through the awareness of the meridians to feel free and balanced in our bodies and inspired in our creative spirit.
