This one is a unique and special project that has been budding in my thoughts for the past few years and is finally taking shape. The connection between the spirit and the body. The bridge between authentic movement and your soul. The thread that joins contemporary dance to your inner expression.
Set over three days, RUH is a holistic spiritual contemporary movement workshop, aimed at movement practitioners from various fields. The workshop will allow you to take a holistic look at your practice - improve you not only as a mover, but also help you channelise the creator in you and release the blocks from within. RUH is designed to release past patterns, both as an individual and professional and help you channelize the untapped potential within.
Each day workshop will be from 11 to 1pm and then 2pm to 4pm
Led by Aastha Gulati, a dance artist based in India, who in her practice blends aspects of her extensive training in contemporary dance (release-based, flying low, contact work), yoga (hatha and yin) and spiritual wellness. She is the founder and director of Dhurii, a space for movement and wellness, based in Bangalore, a platform where movement arts and therapeutic practice unite.
Each day, the sub modules progress to work on the Self bit by bit:
DAY 1:
Self meditation and focus (2 hours) - Understanding the body and visualisation work to detect blocks for recurring aches, pains and injuries. We use techniques of Yoga and QiGong to help breathe right and in a way to release these toxins from the body.
Fight and Flight mechanism (2 hours) - We use movement and music to trigger the flight and fight mechanism that every being is born with. Through improvisation and tasks, we move through space to help us break our dependence on one of these mechanisms in different aspects of our lives.
DAY 2:
Chakras and Aura (2 hours) - This is a session that doesnÃt move physically. In these two hours, we will be diving into the world of Chakras and what each Chakra stands for and how does a block in them manifest in the physical body. We will also be doing a reading of the 7 Major Chakras in the body using a crystal pendulum.
Physical Movement and Catharsis (2 hours) - This module focuses on pure contemporary movement, monkey tactics and routines centred around flying low and falls and rolls, completely working with the body and exhausting it. This is then followed by a 15 minute meditation to channelize the untapped potential of the body.
DAY 3:
Role Play Improvisation (2 hours) - In this section, we move with stories close to life but instead of handling it cognitively, we trigger it through the body with impulses and scores. From contact work to moving in and out of the floor to situations from our day to day life, we will build on being in the moment and observing what the body brings out.
Five elements, Five senses and You (2 hours) - Our final section of RUH collates into working with the elements of nature and activating the different senses. Initiating movement and routines with a different quality to understand our dominant element and sense that we work out of, followed by tips on how to hone the dormant ones.
*Personal therapy sessions are also available for participants on prior arrangement. Aastha works with Chakra healing, Pranic healing, body regeneration and regression work to heal issues: physical, emotional and spiritual (45 - 90 minutes).
