SUMMARY:Moving Connections
DESCRIPTION:Register \nIn this workshop we will explore movement\, expression\, curiosity and play. We will conduct a moving inquiry into our relationship with ourselves\, each other and our environment\, drawing inspiration from (and venturing into) the surrounding bush and grass\, supported by sound and art. \nGeorgia Shine will lead the group as facilitator/cellist with guest musicians Elliot Thompson (guitar) and Caleb College (percussion and ambient electronics). Together we will uncover the beauty that is always within and around us when we move with and see what is really there. The workshop is about the process of free expression and improvisation. The methods used are inspired by a number of different movement and connection practices\, and synthesized by the group itself in the process of the workshop. Each event is unique and everyone is welcome exactly as they are. \nNo previous dance experience is required\, just curiosity\, a mind and a body. Come and explore the interconnection between all things! \nThis is a 6 hour workshop\, from 12-6pm\, with breaks throughout. Please bring a plate of food to share if you would like to contribute to what will already be provided (tea\, coffee and snacks). \nPlaces are limited to 20 max.\nEarly Bird (closes 3rd March) $80\nFull Price $100 \n— \n* Clicking ‘GOING’ doesn’t actually secure your place until you have paid online. We will be taking bookings at the door at this stage but it is likely to sell out. So you can do so\, but at your own risk! \nWe will be dropping away layers of social conditioning in order to be fully present and authentic in this immersion into sound\, space and movement. Please note the timing of the workshop to ensure that you can commit to the container we will be creating together\, and arrive so that we can start at 12pm. \n10% of all proceeds go to C2Ci Australia\, a not for profit organization promoting Nonviolent Communication. \n“If you don’t do your dance\, who will?” Gabrielle Roth.

SUMMARY:Movement Exploration with Contact Improvisation
DESCRIPTION:“Solo dancing does not exist: the dancer dances with the floor: add another dancer and you have a quartet: each dance with the other and each with the floor.”  \n– Steve Paxton\, origintator of Contact Improvisation.  \n— \nWe invite you to an exploration of shared movement\, touch and expression. Absolutely no previous dance experience is required\, just curiosity\, a mind and a body.  By exploring gravity\, momentum and inertia\, we can experience deep listening\, awareness\, and truthfulness.  \nThe workshop is facilitated by Georgia Shine\, who brings ingredients from a number of different artistic and movement based practices to the work. Her facilitation incorporates her experience with the Alexander Technique\, musical performance and teaching\, 5 Rhythms\, Open Floor and Dalcroze Eurhythmics. Her sensitive and playful teaching style creates a safe space for full exploration into the movement practice. \nWe will begin with self-connection through guided movement\, and gently flow into connection with others through various exercises. As we learn about ourselves through contact improvisation\, there will be opportunities to share and discuss with others\, and the workshop will conclude with a free-form ‘jam’.  \nIf you are interested\, please note the limited spaces available and book soon! See you on the dance floor. \n“O body swayed to music\, O brightening glance\, How can we know the dancer from the dance? ”\n~ William Butler Yeats ~ \nCost $40 / $30 concession \n———————————————————–\nBOOKINGS ARE ESSENTIAL – 20 people max\n———————————————————–\nPlease book by\n—————————–\n1) CLICK on “Going” AND\n2) EMAIL whitehawkJulie@gmail.com to let us know how you’d like to pay\, AND/OR\n3) PAY via PayPal.Me/JulieLawrence\n———————————————————– \nFeedback from the last event: \n“The whole experience felt so light and joyful\, bringing such ease in trust that I was able to experience myself as a beautiful energy and to enjoy my strengths\, physical and emotional\, as never before.” \n“I learnt that I didn’t have to ‘do’ anything!!

SUMMARY:CHAKRADANCE™ Journeying Circles with Giselle Di Paolo
DESCRIPTION:At the heart of CHAKRADANCE™ is the music. For all of us\, the seven major chakras are the energetic gateways through which body\, mind and spirit come together\, literally embodying the soul. In Chakradance circles\, each of these seven chakras has its own unique music\, resonating to its own specific vibrational frequencies. Come and experience a joyful affirmation of who you truly are using spontaneous dance\, creativity and your imagination. \nCHAKRADANCE™ is also about healing and balance. By surrendering to the music of each chakra\, we dance from the inside out and find ourselves awakening and healing ancient hurts; expressing blocked emotions and opening ourselves up to higher levels of spiritual connection. Come journey in circle as we explore the relationships between our chakras and dance to harmonise our whole energy field. \nEvent Details: \nThe venue is Zen Space; 225 Mt Glorious Road\, Samford Valley. \nDoors open at 7pm; circle from 7.15pm to 9.15pm. \nTickets available on Eventbrite; $29 and $20 for Red Tent Australia members\, seniors and students (please bring membership/concession cards). \n5 May – Base and Crown Chakra Journey – Eagle Dance \nJoin us as we explore the relationship between how we can remain grounded and connected to earth and simultaneously allow our spirits to soar and connect to Spirit in our everyday life. We will connect to the spirit of Eagle\, able to fly between earth and sky\, we will explore the middle way. \n2 June – Sacral and Third Eye Chakra Journey – Dolphin Dance \nJoin us as we explore the watery depths of our sacral chakra; our womb (or hara for men) while simultaneously staying open to the bigger picture patterns of energy flow\, the wisdom and guidance that is always available to us. We will connect to the spirit of Dolphin\, able to dive in deep and come up for air at the surface\, we will explore playfulness. \n14 July – Solar Plexus and Throat Chakra Journey – Wolf Dance \nJoin us as we explore the relationship between building the fire of our personal power with vigour and passion and expressing our power with clarity and love. We will connect to the spirit of Wolf; able to harness personal power with clear boundaries and communicate with love to their pack\, we will explore expression. \n11 August – Heart Chakra Dance Journey – Animal Spirit Dance \nJoin us as we explore the heart chakra our place to centre and be\, the place where the lower chakras and upper chakras blend. Each of us will connect to our own Spirit Animal to support us in dancing to integrate all that we are. \nWhat to expect: \nDoors will open at 7pm with plenty of time to be smudged with sage to clear your energy field and become present in the space. Circle will begin at 7.15pm sharp and we will undertake sacred ceremony to open our circle\, we will briefly share in the circle and then begin our warm up dance. \nWe will dance each chakra for around 15 minutes; CHAKRADANCE™ is a personal dance practise that is more like a movement meditation allow our bodies to spontaneously move with music created to resonate with each chakra. We dance in a candlelit space\, with our eyes closed and remain within during the dance. At the completion of the dance we create mandala art by allowing our drawing freely flow as we capture the essence of our dance. We will partner up in pairs to share our experiences with each other. \nWe will briefly share in our circle again and close our circle with sacred ceremony. There will be plenty of time for a cup of tea and connection with community after the circle. \nAbout your facilitator: \nGiselle Di Paolo is a qualified social worker and certified Chakradance facilitator with over ten years of experience working with groups. She is passionate about how working with dance\, music\, art and chakras can help deepen your connection to your true self and help bring greater health and balance to your life. \nFAQs: \nWhat do I wear\, bring along? \nWear loose\, comfortable clothing that you can move freely in. We usually dance in bare feet. And remember to bring a bottle of water\, a cushion and a healthy plate of food to share. \nCan I do Chakradance when I don’t have any dance training or experience? \nYou don’t need any dance experience or training to participate in a Chakradance class or workshop. The dance is your own free-form spontaneous expression of the energy of each chakra. Anyone and everyone can Chakradance. \nIs there a particular way of dancing? \nThe spontaneous movements that you create will take you where you need to go. There is no need to force or try to simulate some pre-determined thought of how the dance is ‘supposed’ to be or look. If you let your body guide you rather than trying to guide your body\, Chakradance will have a better chance to take you to centre of each chakra and unfold the mystery of your own presence and power. \nI don’t know anything about the chakras\, can I still come? \nOf course! It really doesn’t matter if you don’t know anything about the chakras. Although we do provide information about the chakras throughout the classes and workshops\, Chakradance is all about experiencing your chakras. The classes will provide you with an embodied understanding of the chakra system\, and you will learn to work with your chakras in practical ways. \nWhat age group is Chakradance for? \nChakradance is for everyone from young adults through to old-age. As each participant finds their own dance\, you can move as softly or energetically as you like. Each person can take it at their own pace and fitness level. \nWhat experience am I likely to have during the dance? \nIt is best to come to the dance without expectation. You will have a range of different experiences\, and it may be different each time you dance it. You may feel the energy of the chakras in a very physical way and by listening to the wisdom of your body\, you might find that you receive insights and guidance on what is needed for each chakra right now. Often when we begin to stir the energy of a chakra\, emotions and feelings that we have buried inside begin to gently unfold. This is all a natural part of the process of energy shifting\, and it is best if you can simply let the process unfold without judging it or trying to change things. We also store memory energy within chakras and old memories often surface during the dance. Trust\, let go and let the dance lead you to where you need to go. \nContact for more information: \nGiselle on 0402 400 228 or giselledipaolo@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Contact Improv Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Contact improvisation is an improvised dance form based on the communication between two moving bodies through touch. By exploring gravity\, momentum and inertia\, we can experience deep listening\, awareness\, and truthfulness. \n“Contact improvisations are spontaneous physical dialogues that range from stillness to highly energetic exchanges. Alertness is developed in order to work in an energetic state of physical disorientation\, trusting in one’s basic survival instincts. It is a free play with balance… bringing forth a physical/emotional truth about a shared moment of movement that leaves the participants informed\, centered\, and enlivened.” – Steve Paxton\, original initaior of CI\, 1979. \nWe invite you to an evening of explorative\, shared movement. It is not a performance\, but a personal exploration of movement and touch. Absolutely no previous dance or movement experience is required\, just curiosity\, a mind and a body. \nThe evening will be facilitated by Georgia Shine\, who will take us through a number of contact improv exercises and discussion\, inspired by her musical background and passion for movement and connection. The evening will end with a contact improv “jam”. \nCost $30 – proceeds going to support Communicate2Connect Inc\, to help foster compassionate listening by supporting future Nonviolent Communication workshops and classes. \nBook via the Facebook event
