From the body to the cosmos – the vibration of dance culture
Moving makes energy flow throughout and between bodies, whether human or celestial. It is on this rhythm that life itself originated, cultures developed, things are born and pass away. We live in endless cycles or nonlinear time …
In this workshop we move from the physical body – from fascia, skin and bones – to get in touch with both the dense and subtle. We explore how inner energy is connected to the strength of the universe, and how we can draw connections between the micro and the macro, between past and future. We also explore how the somatics intersect with street and clubbing dance cultures. How history, politics and tradition influence contemporary and future dance and social movements, and how we can embody dance with a deep sense of context, pleasure and with respect for its ancestry and cultural connections.
A DJ will accompany the session, we will invoke ancestors and future beings. Together we explore dance as resistance, expression and future; connect personal movement with social and cultural roots, taking time and space as small and as wide as we can.

Dance as a revolutionary spiritual & political tool - the clubbing scene from the context of african latino diaspora and lgbtqia+ community
The focus of our sharing is dance. To feel it first from the music and understand from the political and social context, tracing back to the possible origins and ancestral patterns of body language. We will focus on disco and house music going inside the birth and development, trying to feel the origins way before their official birth date, and, through the music, going on a journey through Waacking, House dance and Old Way Vogue.
It will be a music and movement journey, looking for the intuition of the body as a learning and connecting method. This is a lab and not a club, so the aim is to create awareness and perception of some whys and hows that can enhance the revolution and celebration done in the space-temple of clubbing. Also to create openness for the knowledge of the body and the power of dance as a cultural movement.
