Open Hearts Dance

Open Hearts Dance is a hybrid conscious dance space, inspired by 5 rythms and Openfloor, and all the influences interwoven inside us and in between, that rise in the moment. In this sense, the space is very much co-created by the participants and their presence in the Now, and can take various expression, from impro theater, to butoh, through contact improvisation.

It is a safe time-space where we can can get in touch with our “inner dancer”, and all our parts, through acceptance and exploration of our emotional landscapes.

We start by guided embodiment explorations (solo, duo, or group), then a big wave of lived-mixed music to journey in-through-with our body-mind-heart-soul, then comes integration with light energy work.

We focus on feeling, experiencing, exploring the movements of our heart-mind-body-soul.

Our breath is our rhythm while music support us.

When we allow it to happen, it is a dance journey to our true essence.

Open Hearts Dance is an invitation to connect
within and without,
to ourself,
to others
and to what we are weaved from,
what we are weaved with,
what we are weaving with.

No prerequisites. Open to all.

My mixes to practice Open Hearts Dance at home :

Authentic Movement

Authentic Movement is an organic and powerful healing practice that we can all access and connect to.

It is the raw expression of our truth in the moment, untamed, uncensored, without directions and expectations.

It allows us to meet and move in our inner processes and landscapes, on a psychological, archetypal, emotional, physical, energetical and global level. To meet ourselves on the deepest level.

It is the intuitive practice that we, concious and sensitive dancers, embrace when we are in our intimate space, associated with the magic and healing act of being witnessed, of being held by a protective space and the loving heart of a witness. 

The frame is simple. The “effect” is highly liberating.

Senscapes

Body~Heart~Mind~Soul Landscaping in Nature.

Sencapes is a journey through sensorial explorations, movement and expression, in our outer and inner wilderness.

I guide us to awake our body and senses, in solo, pairs and as a collective moving & sensing body. In this safe and creative container, we dive into the present moment, mapping what is rising inside and all around us, lifting the veils of separation.

Blindfolded journeys

Blindfolded dance is a direct gateway to meet ourselves in a profound and raw authenticity.

In the potent space of darkness, we are revealed to ourselves in full light, encountering the whispers of our heart & soul, our longings, needs, limitations,… A more truthfull way to move and interact emerges.

Without sight, we listen deeper, we free ourself from the need to perform, dance or move in a certain way. Losing outer sight allow us to access what wants to be seen, felt, encountered deeper inside ourselves. Our shadows, fears, restrictions receive the light they are waiting for to be integrated, transmuted or released.

Those spaces are crafted to ensure your physical and emotional safety, to journey into the infinite womb of darkness, remembering our primal instincts of listening and sensing through other channels.

To create a multidimensional space, I invite sensitive soundscapers to co-create the space with me with live music.
