BIODANZA – THE ALCHEMY
OF THE FOUR ELEMENTS
BY: CRISTIANO MARTINS
Biodanza means Dance of Life. It is a dance of heart and freedom from South America. It's a system that integrates music and movement; it also makes possible to establish an authentic relationship with yourself, with other people and with the environment. Biodanza creates experiences of intense awareness of being alive in the here-and-now.
The alchemy of the 4 Elements is a proposal of identity integration that has as its basis the “vivencias” induced by the dances of Fire, Air, Water and Earth, as a recognition that each element represents psychological characteristics connected with the deepest of the deepest of our archetypal reality. It´s a process of embodying the elements through dances and ceremonies.
By dancing we can recover the brotherhood with the rivers and the oceans, the intensity and the effervescence of the fire, assuming us a fruitful and material earth and also recognizing us as beings dressed with wings of infinity. It’s an invitation for the reintegration of the human being in his fundamental dignity.
As microcosms we carry within the memory of the cosmos and the destiny of the planet. Facing this culture of repression and divorce with nature, we urgently need to update these cosmic forces in us in order to reach a meaningful life, both as individuals and as species.
Alchemical transmutation manifests through the vivencias centred in the elements that archetypically constitute the PsicoExistential structure of Humans. This "New Alchemy" is mostly inspired in me by the contributions of C. G. Jung G. Bachelard, and Maria Flavia Monsaraz who in my perspective have rescued the archetypal images of the alchemical process deeply rooted in the memory of modern culture. Each dance and ceremony of The 4 Elements give a bodily structural dimension to the transmutation process from within. Let’s Dance!
“Alchemy represents the projection in the laboratory of a drama both cosmic and psychological.” C.G.Jung
Celebrating life is a goal of Biodanza. It stimulates community bounds and makes establishing relationships easier, as well as helps participants regain joy and vitality to celebrate the sacredness of life. It makes a way to feel happy, healthy and more confident, with strengthened self-esteem, also improving the ability to make choices.
Biodanza is a delicate but deeply transforming work on consciousness which awakens for universal solidarity, based on working with the body, body movement and dancing.
Integrates body, mind, emotions and soul.
Arouses vitality, creativity, sensuality and emotionality.
Teaches openness, joy, building good relationships and expressing emotions.
Feeling the connection with your body, emotions and energy, makes the transformation occur. These experiences are called "vivencias". They allow access to our primal emotions and help with the most natural expression of true self to emerge through movement.
“Biodanza represents the primordial energy pattern of deep connection and freedom of expression, beauty, enthusiasm and passion. It lives through the original thirst that our species has of health, love, pleasure and well-being. It is translated by the impulse to dive deep into the world of sensations. It is guided by the compass that lives in our heart, connecting us with the need and the desire to give and receive love. It teaches us to recognize that love is an art, just as life.” (Cristiano Martins)
Biodanza is based on psychological and philosophical research, dance anthropology and traditional rituals. One of the teachers explains the origin of the word "biodanza" from the Greek bios meaning life, and from the Spanish danza which means dance.
Workshop is based on personal, direct experience - individually, in pairs, subgroups or in a group of all participants. There is music, movement and dance to enable the creation of harmony and closeness in interpersonal relations.
Rolando Toro Biodanza System is a method that works on every human being’s potential.
It reveals various possibilities and forms of expression to us. It is based on the positive resources of each of us, according to the author's method - the creator of the system, prof. Rolando Toro. Her father is a psychologist, anthropologist, poet and artist from Chile. And since the 1960s, system itself has been distributed in over 30 countries around the world as a method of personal development.
„A man doesn’t live to dance, but dances to live happier”
Biodanza draws our attention into building relationships and bonds between people through eye contact. An eye contact is considered as the fundamental base of a beautiful and meaningful communication without words. This also helps to open the heart, transform person's needs and desires and to be ready for new experiences.
