WHY EMÖSHPIT?
Because being a human isn't all love and light. It can be tough and we feel, held sensitively, it's important for people to embrace the fear of expressing or seeing others express what society deems as perhaps darker or unacceptable emotions. Everything + anything, the light and the dark - it's all welcome at EMÖSHPIT.
OUR AIM
A safe place to investigate and play - like a sandpit for adults - to celebrate all of what it is to be human, our wild and rawness plus our sensitive, nurturing and vulnerable sides through talking about how we feel and expressing our emotions.
WORRIED ABOUT GETTING HURT?
To be doubly clear the purpose of EMÖSHPIT is to heal not hurt. People can play and dig as deeply as they feel called to. The centre of the dance space is for consensual contact between people and the edges will be for more solo dancing and expression. There's always a dedicated space, a "chill out" area, to go should it be required.
PLAN OF THE EVENT:
PART 1: CONNECT VIA SHARING CIRCLES: In groups, each person gets time to open up and share about how they are feeling followed by a short round of reflection (NOT advice) so they feel seen and heard.
PART 2: DANCE IT OUT: Release whatever's come up/present in life via a wave of dubstep DnB, type tunes speckled with the odd all out rock favourite to really let loose!
RULES:
This is NOT a place to fight. We are here to help each other NOT hurt each other. No punching, kicking, biting, etc.
It's very unlikely but, if someone does fall down, we pick them up. Treat others as you wish to be treated.
This is NOT a place for advice, it’s a place for release and support.
If you’re angry that’s okay, we all are at times. If you act angrily with intention to hurt someone you’ll be ejected from the event.
EQUIPMENT NEEDED:
- Clothes as if going to the gym - loose fitting so you feel free to move
- Cushion (to sit on during sharing circles)
- Water bottle
- Towel possibly
- Notebook might be useful too
THE FULL WORKS: EMÖSHPIT, followed by chill/chat/lunch, then sauna. Book your sauna spot here: https://www.community-sauna.co.uk/hackney-wick-sauna-baths
MUST READ - IMPORTANT NOTE: While the intention of this practice is very much NOT to hurt anyone, the idea is to make a bit of human contact and support each other in the expression of our inner animals. With this in mind, although any kind of injury is very unlikely, if you don't want to risk even the possibility of any very mild injury then please refrain from partaking in this event. Plight Club run regular sharing circles that you're more than welcome to join.
