Open Floor Dance with Anna Du Vé
Wild. Space. Space to allow our wild. Shedding inhibition, giving the body permission to do what it needs to.
To dance, release, embody & move what’s true.
To shift energetic blocks by shaking, sounding, courageously connecting…
Wildspace is a safe container for authentic movement & dance - allowing exploration, connection, self-inquiry and creative expression.
Open Floor Dance
Open Floor Movement Practice is a lively, life-affirming dance inquiry inviting us to track our thoughts, feelings, and habits and turn them into creative fuel.
Using a foundation of mindfulness and universal movement resources such as breath, grounding and centering; our aim is to use our movement practice to be fully embodied – physically, emotionally, mentally.
Open Floor is a free-form dance space with no dance experience required or steps to follow; an explorative, drug and alcohol free space to fully express yourself, dance wildly or gently, and connect with yourself and others.
Open Floor is also a global community of movers, gathering all over the world to dance through life together. For more information about Open Floor International click here.
“Movement reaches our deepest nature,
and dance creatively expresses it…
It has the profound power to heal the body, psyche and soul.”
- Anna Halprin

MAKE ART & MOVE
An Open Floor Art in Motion Workshop.
We explore our emotional landscape through Art-making and Dance.
Art as process, Process as Art.
——————————————
We access our creativity through our embodied, emotional process; and inquire into our inner worlds through the mirror of creativity.
We Dance, Draw, Emote, Embody, Breathe, Create, Release.
——————————————
This means, moving, making the invisible visible through dance, and then translating that expression to art making, mark making, expressionistic impulse-following in relationship with colour, line, pastel, marker..
We're talking Jackson Pollock-style expressionistic & emotional Dance-Art making.
