(CANCELED) Ritual Dance - May 20th Lovers

À propos de cet événement

🕯️Welcome to 𝐑𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 - 𝐌𝐚𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝐭𝐡 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬🕯️🙏

I stumbled upon a new Valentines Day, an internet Valentines day.
"May 20th Lovers" refers to a, modern, digital-age Valentine's Day in China (and among Chinese speakers) known as "520 Day". It is celebrated because the number 520 (wǔ èr líng) sounds phonetically similar to "I love you" (wǒ ài nǐ) in Mandarin.

我爱你

So I thought and felt:
Let us connect beyond the internet.
Let us bring ourselves, and perhaps... a crush?... an internet date?? (Below is an special gift😉)
Let us connect as lovers... for an evening... for a dance... for ourselves to open up to love.

This Ritual Dance will be a moment to:
Express Love through body language
Go on a 'Romantic Dancing Date'
Exchange gifts of movement
Dance with a crush
Flirt

Take a moment.

🕯️𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈𝐒 𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐔𝐀𝐋 𝐃𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄?🕯️

Ritual Dance is a dance experience where we come together in silence. From the silence we feel into ourselves, make eye contact with another dancer, show ourselves & recognize the other. The music is the invitation to go into spontaneous, free dance.

The concept of Ritual Dance is inspired by Ecstatic Dance and Ritual Play. As we only use body language & sound, we leave words behind. We dance barefoot, only drink water and let ourselves be carried away by the natural flow. There is a demarcated space (the field) and demarcated time (the music), in which we step into the unknown, to authentically follow our impulses in tune with the other.
