DESCRIPCION

The title refers to "coming home to yourself" in the sense of knowing your own vibration/rhythm from a bodily position.

It’s no secret that dance spaces often have a preponderance of women and that many men often associate dance with an opportunity to get close to women. The opposite is also the case 😊.

The workshop aims to create a space where there are as few as possible disturbances from the opposite sex 😊….It is a woman-free zone where connection and inspiration between men are created.

Owning your dance isn’t a classic "masculine" performance, but about be connected and present. It is about leaning into your movement and finding the balance in both giving and taking space - being attuned - so that the body isn’t used mechanically, but organically and connected, and in a naturally way take your own space.

When we are connected to our dance, we aren’t “on our way” (there is no direction), and even an intensive dance can be unfold with less power, because we are attuned to ourselves and our own inner rhythm.

Our dance is shaped by certain movement patterns. Everyone has a unique “fingerprint” in their movement/dance. It is a bodily way of being in the world.

From the place of movement, there are unimaginable opportunities to explore and expand one’s territory. Find freedom in new forms of movement and be inspired by other men. New movement creates new thoughts and new ways of being in the world - and more space for yourself.

We are as people, shaped by our origin. The relationships and contexts we have been a part of. Our mother may have been more of a father than our father was, that’s how complex it can be, but we all have “figures” that we refer to as men/people. When writing figures, it's in the meaning of bodily forms that have carried the existence of our father figures and that we have either taken on, rebelled against or found cohesion with.

The workshop aims to become more familiar with your origin (and thus your own inner rhythm) from a bodily place. What do we come from? What "figures" (read: bodily forms) carried the existence of our father and grandfather?

And find clarity in how physical forms can dictate our mental space.

The workshop is an invitation to a space where a virtue is made out of creating space for diversity. We are human before we are a gender. Roughly and simply put, the invitation lies somewhere in between Batman and the “we-are-going-to-talk-about-feelings” position 😊.

And it is a workshop and dance for men, of all ages, and it requires no prerequisites. Everyone can dance! ….but bring your emotions and also a little of your inner Batman 😊.
