5Rhythms weekend with David Juriansz

Transitions…are part of life. From daylight to darkness, working week to weekend, winter to spring…yet even with this constant pulse, there are times we become acutely aware of a transition phase we are in. In such times it is wise to listen to the language of the body – our emotional reactions, our sense of self in relationship, our health. I love stories of people in transition. We can learn so much from each other.

For me, as for thousands of people, Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythms® have been both an exhilarating, inspiring practice and solid ground for support in times of change. In this workshop, we will make physical, the transitions from flow to staccato, from staccato to chaos and so on through stillness and back to flow. I will offer this altered map, with a range of practical tools to activate our movement wisdom on the dance floor, so that it becomes easier to access in daily life.

Over 15 years, this workshop has been shaped and refined through both my experience and all those who have danced their transitions with me. If you feel like your life is in transition – bring the raw material to the dance floor. If you’ve done this workshop before, I invite you back with the lived experience of those transitions you danced out in the world.

Endings and new beginnings! Plus the tricky stuff in the middle. I hope you will join me, and bring your own unique dancing story, so together we can follow this map into the territory of transition.

David Juriansz is a musician, performer, dancer & facilitator with a gift for connecting the world of sound and movement to the dance of everyday life. Dancing his weekly Melbourne ‘Tidal Wave’ is a wondrous experience – a catalytic, high-energy journey for a large group of dancers. Whether captivating newcomers or offering depth for long-time dancers, David leads you gently to your growing edge with a big heart & a generous dose of humour.

Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythms has been a global movement practice for 40 years and Moving Essence started the first weekly classes in Melbourne 20 years ago. Workshops offer a deeper experience of process through this life-changing work.

Huge thanks to Suzie Craddock for producing this workshop and inviting me to Perth to share the 5Rhythms work I love.
