Tipping Points
A one day Dance of Awareness workshop
- with Tim Brown and Clare Osbond
Saturday 22nd April 2025, 10.30am - 5.30pm
​
As we dance through the DoA cycle – sensing, grounding, expressing, releasing, connecting and completing – we welcome the body memories of our formative years into consciousness. As we move from inner awareness and outer connectedness, we revisit our early body history, celebrate the embodied patterns that make us unique and discover new ways of being who we are. As we move and breathe together, we open more fully to self-awareness and a wider consciousness of our place in the world.
How do you react to change? Do you welcome it or resist it? Or a bit of both? We live our lives between order and chaos. Too much stability and we stagnate, too much disorder and we fragment. From birth, we move between the two worlds; sometimes stable enough to be receptive, other times chaotic enough to be able to respond spontaneously.
It is at the edge of chaos - the tipping point - where we have the most potential to grow. Dancing between body and mind, freedom and form, safety and risk, stillness and movement, we find balancing points. Sometimes a simple gesture, breath or sound will have a significant or dramatic effect, taking us into new experiences and realms. On this workshop we will hang out on the seesaw of opening and closing, furling and unfolding, inbreath and outbreath.
We grow and evolve together - in relationship. We respond to each other through non-verbal cues - our laughter, our tears, our movements. I shape you, you shape me. We find each other through our sharing and through our difference. I change you, you change me. If we can change our environment, can the environment change us? Together we will explore what is already happening, what is trying to happen and what might be stopping things from happening - individually and collectively. Dance of Awareness allows us to discover more about the dance between body and mind. Where are your blocks to action? Where are your sources of energy? Where are you on the see-saw of order and chaos?
We move together, mixing structured process with free-flowing expression, individual self-exploration with pair and group exploration. Give your body the chance to take you on a journey of self-awareness and discovery.
