DOKOLECKA DOKOLA/ ROUND and ROUND

 "...and I circle ten thousand years long; And I still don't know if I'm a falcon, a storm, or an unfinished song."

Rainer Maria Rilke

​

There are times when we are giddy with happiness, unable to stop ourselves from feeling as free as birds in the sky.

And there are times when staying in a circle feels annoyingly endless, we feel trapped

Or we repeat activities in the circle that prove useful.

This workshop is an opportunity to experience the 5Rhythms as a map, to better understand through the experience of our bodies in motion what our movements in circles are like, when we can fully enjoy them, or when it's time to step outside...

The 5Rhythms- "Flowing", "Staccato", "Chaos", "Lyrical" and "Stilness" allow us to glimpse , immerse ourselves in the moment of truth without rushing.

The workshop is open to all with no previous experience of 5Rhythms.

The workshop is conducted in Slovak, we will provide English translation if needed.​​​

POLARITIES

 "Fish don’t know that they are wet”

Chinese proverb

​

To define the concept of polarity, it is useful to consider two behaviors as separate, as split: incapable of coexisting.

The practice of the 5 Rhythms invites us to accept that they can "complement each other".

The 5 Rhythms practice treats opposites as part of a whole, like yin and yang, shadows and lights, our polarities can co-exist as parts of a whole.

The list of polarities is endless, but perhaps one of the most important and common polarities in movement practice is that of body and mind. This weekend workshop gives us the opportunity to tap into the Rhythms so that they can teach us about unity, our own unity: body, mind, but also heart, soul and spirit.

To welcome our fluidity versus our rigidity, our clarity versus our confusion, our capacity of letting go versus our control, our lightness versus our heaviness, our silence versus the noise within us.

Then we're ready for Integration and assimilation, then we're ready to feel complete again, to feel whole.
