WORKSHOP EVENT
Mindful Movement
with David Wood
DANCE IMMERSIVE
Join us for a Melbourne Dance Immersive with David Wood, dancer, choreographer and yogi, as we reinvigorate body and soul through the art of mindful movement. No dance experience needed – just a willingness to connect with sound and motion, and to simply allow yourself to go with the flow.
In this innovative session, we learn to express and move freely in a safe environment that has been created for the purpose of healing, self-awareness and being fully present and aligned with our true selves. Through the gentle, exploratory beauty of improvisation, we play with a series of emotions and actualise them through awareness, form and movement.
Program flow
Warm-up: we commence with a yoga-style dance warm-up, including breath work and meditations to ground us, get the blood circulating and gain better control over the body.
Group work: we then move into collaborative yet simple choreographic group work where we develop stronger cognitive health, as well as group bonding and of course body toning, with its added benefits for our cardiovascular health.
Improv: in this section we will work on trusting and supporting each other in a way that allows our inner child to come to the fore, while at the same time feeling free to express ourselves in a way that is both releasing as well as creative.
Come and connect your emotional and creative mind into one that expresses itself through the art of movement. Be ever present in the moment as you overcome your fears, feel uplifted and tune in with your true higher self to gain inner peace and self-awareness.

“With every simple step to every grand gesture the body makes, a purpose and meaning flows from within. We are telling our story, expressing an idea or emotion, releasing energy or simply feeling connected with the movement itself.”
