The Art of Improvisation - June 2 Ecstatic Dance Session
2016-06-02 18:30 - 19:30 | Dovercourt House, 2nd Floor, 805 Dovercourt Road, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Explore Ecstatic Dance Session – Thurs. June 2 from 6:30-7:30 pm
THEME: The Art of Improvisation: tuning in, uncovering patterns, and expanding the potential of movement in the moment
Facilitated by Twyla Kowalenko
Whether you’ve been practicing ecstatic dance for years or don’t even know what the term means, this session is open to YOU!
In this all-level workshop, we will be exploring movement improvisation by practicing tuning into the moment and our bodies and following impulses internally and externally. We will explore our own movement patterns and tendencies as well as expand our potential range of motion by playing with movement qualities and space. The Laban-inspired workshop will offer everyone more entry points into the practice of conscious dance.
Twyla Kowalenko has been facilitating improvisation-based dance in Toronto for the past 7 years and, as a social worker, has been facilitating groups for almost 2 decades. She is a facilitator and organiser of The Move Dance Collective and is a doctoral candidate at York University, where she is exploring barriers to dance and embodied knowing.
$20 (includes admission to ecstatic dance from 7:30-9:30 pm)

Community Circle:
Did you know that it’s always been a core part of The Move’s mission to be run collectively, by and for community?
Did you know that we have always struggled with sustainability and organizer burn-out?
We’re at a crossroads. We have some exciting ideas about how to be more sustainable, that will require more dancers stepping into roles of leadership at The Move.

This time of year, many of us clean out the cobwebs of winter, opening up space for the new buds of spring, letting go of what is no longer useful, letting the breeze in. What would it be like to experience this on a deeper level? Join DJ Twyla this Friday for an embodied spring cleaning
