A Wholistic Fusion
Harnessing the Power of Presence in Co-Created Movement.
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 artistry and authentic connection with others!
This Playshop (same as a workshop but more fun) is for people who are:
Excited to explore new ways of dancing with familiar people
Curious to discover ways to seamlessly transition between styles
Opening to different musical inspiration in their dance
Wanting to meet new dancers in their community
Ready to welcome a new level of presence and sensuousness to their dance experience
Pumped to up their listening and improvisational prowess by at least 2x
No partner necessary.
Come with your beloved, a friend, or solo. All will be invited to dance with each other, and you are welcome to not change partners as well.
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
Accessing Intuitive Movement and Flow
Next Level Musicality
Building on the foundational elements of social partner dance technique as our common language, Wren’s playful and sincere guidance teaches how to wield creative expression with consideration to another body and practice nuanced responsiveness to one another in improvisational, co-created dance. Cocréa is a gateway to accessing the bodys wisdom to deepening Self and relational attunement. Our intention is to explore form and play creatively from our heart, body and spirit, in full support and appreciation of ourselves and one another.
SCHEDULE
2:30 3:20PM Intro to Mindful Partner Dance
With its origins in the Fusion partner dance movement, and giving huge appreciation to Blues, Swing, Hip-Hop and other resistance dances that have massively shaped fusion, the Cocréa practice is to meet one another where we are and engage in an explorative movement dialogue while paying attention, with intention, non-judgmentally. As we hone this dynamic, kinetic toolbox, we emphasize connection, communication and creative expression between two humans within a community of others, and endeavor to make ourselves a safe space for others to express and interact with. Emphasis on consent, breath to support energetic containment and cultivating presence as perhaps the pleasure we are truly seeking.
3:30-4:20PM Blues Fusion: Groove and Flow
Using the Blues vernacular, this class teaches the juicy qualities of blues with different musical contexts and helps dancers craft smooth, elegant, and unified dances. Groove, pulse, contrabody, swivels, well get into all that jive and be a lot looser and hopefully more free by the end.
4:30-5:30PM Fine Attunement: Partner as an Extension of Your BodyBuilding on the detailed rhythmic work from the first session, well bring that same level of refinement to our connection technique. Bringing a high degree of awareness to the movements of the body and how they impact our partner, well explore and refine tone and tone ramping, the continuum of connection that happens before we physically touch, and the vast degree of subtle variability that can occur thereafter.
