“Dance What Moves You”
A 5Rhythms® Workshop with Thierry Francois
We are all guided — consciously or not — by what we value.
Some values are inherited.
Some are questioned.
Some are forgotten.
This workshop is an invitation to return to what truly matters.
Not as an idea, but as a lived, embodied experience.
Through the map of the 5 Rhythms — Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness — we explore how values take shape in the body:
how we receive them,
how we stand for them,
how we let go,
and how we live in integrity.
There will be some Ritual Theater part of the workshop to invites us to play.
Not performance — exploration.
Lightness as a way to tell the truth.
Creativity as a doorway to alignment.
Through ritual theatre and playful interaction,
values are tested, bent, and rediscovered —
to keep values flexible, human, and alive.
A space to reconnect movement, choice, and meaning.
A dance to clarify what moves you — now.
Emotions serve as vital sources of strength and guidance in our lives. Anger, in particular, helps us recognize and honor our boundaries, and empowers us to defend what we cherish. Accessing our anger can lead to deeper, more intimate relationships. There is something profoundly personal about expressing anger in a healthy manner — it is not about blame or humiliation, but rather about heartfelt communication that safeguards our integrity. When we embrace our anger, we become more attuned to our limits.
In this workshop, we will explore the dual nature of anger — the light and the shadow. The light of anger is constructive and fosters connection, while the shadow can be destructive and isolating. We will also delve into the relationship between anger and forgiveness. Ultimately, we will explore how anger serves as a vital energy that keeps us alive and engaged. By channeling this energy through movement, we can become more comfortable with our own power, allowing us to express our true feelings with clarity and authenticity.
“Anger is an integrity-producing response to the invasion of your personal boundaries.”
