Gabrielle Roth

5Rhythms SHADOWS is 5 x week series dancing the 5Rhythms Shadows Map.

Each Rhythm has a shadow side. One that can teach us about ourselves, our habits and our desires.

This workshop will explore both the light and the shade of each Rhythm, offering a new and enlightened perspective on Gabrielle Roth's 5Rhythms Wave.

Shadows are often hidden parts of ourselves that can be active however not obvious. Tending to them, shining the light and giving them space to reveal themselves through embodied practice can liberate our judgement and suppression of valuable parts of ourselves opening to a sense of wholeness and congruency in our lives.

RIVKA......"At 19 I was thrown into facilitating community dance for young people with disabilities and thirty years later, in my 50's, I continue to enjoy supporting a broad diversity of people to move and express freely in their bodies. My teaching has moved thousands of different people in health, justice, education, arts, remote and environmental settings. Dance floors range from inner city halls, leafy forest beds, community gymnasiums to red desert earth. My qualifications include three decades of community dance leadership, including BA Dance Uni SA, Certified 5Rhythms® teacher & Certified The 360 Emergence facilitator, Somatic Movement Educator, (BMC), Certified The Work that Reconnects Facilitator & Futuring Trainer. I have worked extensively in Community Dance, Community Cultural Development, Improvisation Practice, Somatic Practice and as a professional Choreographer, Artistic Director and Production Manager. I specialise in Ecosomatics and in Ceremonial Dance, where sacred connection and transformation are individually and collectively embodied. I focus on cultivating a symbiotic relationship with Nature through Eco Soma™, Ecosomatic practice."

As you enter the dance space, most likely the teacher will be playing a Wave for you to warm up to. This is a time for you to warm up from the inside out. Take some time to tune into your body, surrender the day and allow your body to guide you with what it needs as you transition through the 5Rhythms, Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, Stillness

After the warm up, the teacher will guide you through the 5Rhythms and more Waves will be danced. Please pace yourself where you need to be. You know your body best.
