5th Dance and Nature Project – Tenerife, SPAIN

[Dance and Nature Project – Tenerife, SPAIN]

19 – 31 August , 2019

This project is an initiative to practice dance in nature to be inspired and unearth new creative processes in dance and performance.

The work will be focused on dance styles such as Flying Low and Passing Through, Contact Improvisation, Release, Physical Theatre and Choreography integrating energy work and meditation practices from Taoism and Buddhism.

Tenerife combines beautifully all five elements; wood with the powerful forests, fire with the dominant presence of the volcano, earth with the rich and diverse soil, metal with the many special minerals, and water with the abundant sea. It is the perfect amalgamation to work on all five elements, all five profound energies.

[More information about the project]

The Dance and Nature project is modelled particularly for transfusing the essence of dance into the essence of nature and the essence of nature into the essence of dance. The human being is integrally connected with nature however nowadays we have managed to disconnect from the power and the beauty that nature can offer us. Living in hectic busy metropolis has alienated us from the vital energy mother Earth open-heartedly and unconditionally offers. Now we are living in a time where we should make an effort to re-connect back to nature in this beautiful world. Elements refer to the wood, fire, earth, metal and water that encircle us wherever we are, however we rarely pay attention to relate and communicate with each element.

We will be working in nature and in the dance studio where we will focus on solo and duet works to perform at Teatro Victoria on the 30 & 31 of August 2019.
