Welcome again to Move and Be, a space for personal enquiry and creative movement.
🌿 Where: Mt Pleasant community centre, upstairs in the activity studio
🌿 When: 1-3pm
🌿 Cost: All welcome regardless of financial contribution, $10 - $20 is appreciated.
____________________________________
Movement prompts and themes are used alongside a curated playlist to explore embodied connection with self and others.
A place to move what is present for you.
A place to develop embodiment tools and resilience.
A place to better resource ourselves to navigate the waves of life.
____________________________________
🌿 Who is facilitating: Rawhiti has been inviting spaces of movement enquiry for over five years. She craves a world of connection, play and creative self expression.
She dances to embody hope, to bring a voice for her rage, an anchor for her grief and a voice for her joy. These are the spaces she wishes to invite for others.
Open Floor movement practice is a key resource in this session: "A meditation practice that builds muscular and emotional intelligence."

Contact dance, theatre improv, and butoh also inspire this space. All of these curiosities are combined to offer a mixture of guided invitations and open play.
