Dance Yrself Clean - Wed Night Weekly Ecstatic Dance

💫 A new weekly conscious dance night is arriving in Collingwood. An extremely carefully-curated two hour music mix shall guide us on a journey each Wednesday night. This aims to be a space of expression, authenticity and safety. The eclectic music selections hope to inspire, move and transport. Love to see you there.
"As an attendee of 5 rhythms, Open Floor, ecstatic dance, contact improv, and physical theatre workshops for 15 years, I have always had the desire to share such a space of my own. Over this time, I've developed my skills as a DJ, facilitator and host, as well as beginning studies in art therapy. I wish to bring all of this together and allow movement and music to be gateways to peace."
. - Harley H, host of Dance Yrself Clean
Seasoned dancers, as well as those who have never attended a conscious dance before are welcome.
💫 Some of the most important elements are:
- Once you enter the space, no talking.
- No alcohol or substances.
- The music tends to begin gently, increase in energy and then settle again, guiding us in a 'wave.'
- At 8pm doors are closed, nobody can enter after that.
- People are expected to stay until the end at 9.30pm.
- Move however you're called to move, which can include sitting or lying down.
- You don't need to interact with anyone if you don't want to.
- You can journal or use art materials at the side of the room.
💫 How this one shall run is:
- Arrive between 7.30-8pm during the warm up.
- At 8pm, we'll quickly pause the music for the reading of a poem. (As the community grows, different community members might choose and read aloud the week's poem.)
- There will be occasional facilitation, making a suggestion which you only follow if it feels right.
- Just before 9.30pm, the music mix will end into a moment of silence. There'll be a small moment of sharing before we finish.
Dances such as these are a fantastic way to process the week and move through whatever might be alive. Sometimes you have a very internal slow dance and that's beautiful, sometimes you are feeling incredibly playful and making the strangest possible movements on the dance floor, sometimes you are drawn to a small group and end up connecting through non-verbal conversation. A chance to move through things, amongst others, every Wednesday night. 💫

🛠️ Trainscendence is a members-only venue, buying a ticket to this event includes a free membership to Trainscendence. / Trainscendence is accessed via an alley with uneven cobblestones, but has a lift which goes to every floor except the rooftop terrace and two large accessibility bathrooms. Thus, if folks who use a wheelchair navigate the laneway, the venue itself should be mostly accessible. / The place we now call 'Collingwood' is said to have been once known as Yálla-birr-ang by Wurundjeri. We pay respects to first nations. It is an honour and privilege to live and create on this unceded Aboriginal land, which knows tens of thousands of years of culture, storytelling and gatherings. As a nation, may we confront the full reality of our history as a part of moving forwards harmoniously. / Trainscendence feel it should go without saying that we do not tolerate bullying, racism, sexism, ableism or gender or sexuality-based harassment <3 /
