SENSITIVE DANCE PRACTICES

Sensitive Dance practices are inspired by some steps of phylogenesis, and propose to relive the process of human verticalisation. This means to experience through conscient movement, the evolution from aquatic to terrestrial life, and “live” the passage from quadrupedia, when the spine is parallel to the ground, to the moment when it becomes vertical, projected towards the sky. Through such experiences one can understand how our body has reached its actual structure and organisation, and explore the various movements that have been developed in order to move and survive in the three dimensions.

Through the practice of conscient movement, body reactions are left free to emerge spontaneously. The physical actions reveal their physical end emotional background, and enlight hidden personal aspects. Ancient or even archaic memories, recorded in each of our cells, can re-emerge back to conscience.

The memories which emerge invite us to look back at the sense and history of one’s own verticalisation in the world, opening new possibilities to meet one’s inner nature. Feeling one’s own history and the relation to the present, one can symbolically descend into one’s own earth, and meet the boundaries of the unknown inside oneself.

Some practices of Sensitive Dance are individual, others are performed in couples or in small groups. The group represents a place of exchange and share, where the relation with the others becomes a chance of self- observation.


Sensitive Dance workshops are held on three complementary levels:

• A thecnique of movement and dance, which is an experience of different ways to open, bring and orient our bodies in the space. Different relations, both physical and energetic, give life to the expression of our conscient intention.
• A “sensitive” aspect nourished by listening, relationship and presence.
• A rebalancing aspect, which consists in the involvement of all parts of the human being, unifying body and spirit, and bringing to new inner ways of being and new energy quality.
