Foundations

Learning how to ground and open to personal creative flow state. This workshop is designed to equip the dancers with the foundations and techniques from which all SMP creative and performing processes are built on. Dancers will learn to enter “receiving mode” as a form of embodiment into the senses. This then will be explored through various containers; improvisation, writing and physical imagination exercises. Bringing more of a feminine energetic awareness to the craft of dance. How to achieve flowstate in class, in competition, and in life. Practicing acceptance as a way of growth.
