Contact Dance Improvisation Meditation

Contact Dance Improvisation Meditation

We invite all movement lovers and seekers to an exceptional evening of dance, music and meditation amidst the mystical green gardens of Zorba the Buddha. 

In the workshop, we will explore how movement is a powerful tool to explore the body and become aware of it. Once we are aware of our own body, it becomes easier to connect to other bodies. Then, touch and contact can be used for taking us to a level where we can play with our body’s energy and just flow.

We will then open the space to a journey in Improvisation jam, accompanied by live music in the background. Meet our self and others in movement, communicate and co-create through our bodies and individual expressions. Awareness, listening, playfulness, curiosity and creativity will be our guides. 

Please come on time to be a part of the introduction and wear soft comfortable clothes.

We look forward to your presence and participation in this Dance!
