Description

Cocréa is Collaborative, Organic Communication, Revolutionizing Embodied Awareness. Cocréa engages us in the practice of moving in intuitive, kinetic dialogue with one another to just about any style of music and serves as a means to take your dance to a new level of intimacy and authentic connection with others. This Playshop (same as a workshop but more fun) is for people new and new-ish to partner dancing as well as people who have been dancing all their lives. This is for folks looking for a presence and consent based intro to partner dance, and those looking to add organic and fresh elements to their established technique and style. No partner is necessary. Building on the foundational elements of social partner dance technique as our common language, we'll learn how to wield creative expression with consideration to another body and practice nuanced responsiveness to one another in improvisational, co-created dance. In this playshop we'll explore: • Core Stability & Balance • Lead-Follow Dynamics within Conversational Play • Adaptive Listening Techniques • Frames of Connection to Provide Structure and Guidance • Accessing Intuitive Movement • Attunement Practices that Bring Regulation and Healing • The Metaphor of Dance as Life, and Life as a Dance Workshop Schedule 1:30pm-2:30pm dance 2:30pm-3:30pm break 3:30pm-5:00pm dance 5:00pm-6:30pm break 6:30pm-8:00pm dance This practice is a gateway to accessing the body's wisdom to deepening Self and Relational Intelligence. Our intention is to explore connection and play creatively from our heart, body and spirit, in full support and appreciation of ourselves and one another. COCRÉA is an improvisational embodied movement practice for developing presence, opening gateways to creativity, empowering mindful leaders and followers and generating authentic connection in relationship. Weaving the threads of permaculture, consciousness, embodiment and emergent leadership, the practice focuses on inviting, allowing, acclimating and relaxing into ever deepening levels of listening. Facilitators craft containers imbued with trust and permission enabling dancers to enter into flow state. In this state, we see the possibility to enhance and elevate the realm of human relating into a deeply connected, honest and powerful tool for transformation and cultivation of a humanity in pristine coherence with our planet and all life.
