NEW VISION, NEW YEAR WORKSHOP 2024/25 WITH MARTINA AND ANŽE

Welcome to join us for an unforgettable 4-day workshop. New Vision is a time where we look back with gratitude, celebrate the here and now and create a vision of the future. An open creative space where we express ourselves authentically as individuals and co-create as a group. The workshop takes place for the ninth year in a row and is designed, on a symbolic level, to raise awareness of the darkness and magical part of the winter on one side and the light and hope of the new sun on the other hand.

The workshop will take place in Jezersko (Slovenia) which is a charming little town surrounded by unspoiled nature, breathtaking mountains and is famous for its heart-shaped lake and healing water sources.

For who is the workshop intended for? For everyone who likes to express themselves through movement and breath and would like to spend the New Year without alcohol. No previous experience in the 5Rhythms practice is necessary. If you can walk, you can dance.

Practical informations:

Hall: we will dance in a beautiful warm hall with a wooden floor, which is reserved only for our group. With a view of the snow-capped mountains.

Accommodation: two accommodations have been reserved, which are two minutes drive by car from the hall. Our hosts will be Pika and Tanja. There is also an alternative option of accommodation in the hall, on pillows and in your sleeping bag.

Breath In Motion

Notes from the theatre wing:

The beauty of our 5R practice from a theatre prospective is having the opportunity to reflect life, absorbing every morsel of its offering and gifting it back to the dance over and over again.

In living this practice as artists we embody the rhythms through every breath we take, through every offering we make. Each gesture being an extension from our body, heart, mind, soul and spirit. A POETIC landscape of offering. A free fall, a footfall, a live response to what is happening in us around us and universally.

As artists we manifest change offering ourselves and our stories from that Live Wire place deep inside our creative centre; that ELECTRIC landscape of unpredictable possibility that lives and breathes inside our bones.

Evoking a creative way of seeing and experiencing life from the artistic nature of the body is the place I want to live and breathe in and out of forever.

I’ll meet you here with all my heart and soul.
