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.

Heartspace - Heartbeat in Chicago

The 5Rhythms Movement Practice is a movement practice that provides maps to support us in experiencing and embodying our physical, emotional, cognitive, soulful and spiritual selves.

Heartspace is an invitation to embody our emotional world. A sensate experience of our emotions means feeling, without the story, to allow the wisdom of the body to arise. Through the 5Rhythms Heartbeat map, we will move with five essential emotional landscapes—fear, anger, sadness, joy, and compassion—not to fix or judge them, but to listen. To allow. To move through.

There are moments in life when we are called to feel more than we thought we could bear. Loss. Change. Love that breaks us open. If we shut down hard feelings, we lose access to the uplifting ones too. If we allow ourselves to honor and move with all our feelings, the body becomes a sanctuary that can hold all our emotions.

Join us as Ann offers a space to come together not to perform, but to feel. To lean into the honesty of what moves in us and what longs to move through us.

We offer this practice as a path back to your whole heart.
