Artyci Dance: YIN-YANG Embodied_Dancing Qigong [workshop]

1-5 May 2019_Priestor Špirála, Bratislava

 

An intensive training with Zuna and Milan where dance becomes means of Qi cultivation and Qi materializes into a cultivated dance form through the medium of movement.

Dancing Qigong“ is an open platform of our systematic and concentrated work in a field of interfacing dance and qigong. Qigong literally means “work with the Qi energy”. Qi means energy, vital life force, thanks to which we are alive. Qi circulates in our bodies in energetic pathways, also called meridians, and it is also connected to our internal organs which are nourished by chi. Gong means activity, work, ability and also time and attention we spend on using our Qi. Essentially, qigong may be entwined with dance, as there is a parallel between the two. It may become a subconscious aspect of a mover´s/dancer´s way of self-expression either in training, improvisation or even during a performance time on stage.

We do not focus our attention on particular form of practices/exercises, but rather on application of their principles. We see huge potential in the latter for aiding and enriching movers, actors and dancers in a number of areas of their professional lives:
– improving their technique
– enhancing their interpretative abilities as performers
– providing deeper knowledge of healthy and effective body work, aiming to prolong their artistic career

 

The workshop is open to a mixed group of experienced as well as less experienced movers and dancers.
