About the Workshop Dervish in Progress
With the chaotic mobility that we live in, there is nothing left to us than reforming our own selves again and again, and again…..This workshop suggests a space for participants to challenge your limits through whirling in single, couple or group forms; to stimulate your ability for the thrill of bodily energy; and through these abilities, reach your goal movement within your own genre, spending less energy, with a higher level of awareness.
Whirling is not the main objective of this workshop. The greater goal is to improve one’s physical, emotional and mental awareness through whirling and the exercises prior to that. It will lead you to perceive and accept what is befalling throughout whirling, and reach an innovative movement by means of whirling.
