The motion of emotion – You’re-A-Vision Edition

This anniversary Stretch we will take The Motion of Emotion concept and give it a Eurovision Dance Camp twist. In this workshop we will go on a journey through holistic improvised embodied dance and movement using music as a key to unlock and express and process emotions, memories and mental states. This year’s edition will get a particularly campy shade through a curated selection of Eurovision songs throughout the decades. Get ready to dance your heart out to an eclectic selection of power ballads, ethno-pop bangers, Schlager pearls and the occasional odd silly jig in a roller coaster of themes to emote and guilty pleasures to enjoy. You and your body is enough, but if you feel inclined, feel free to bring costumes, props, hats, wigs, scarfs, wind machines to get you in the mood.

Structure
In the first half we delve into a meditative self-care session, melting and unlocking blockages and energising the body by focusing on the ear-brain-body connection and stimulating active listening. The themes of the songs create a dramaturgy for each one to go through as an individual with an invitation to, but no pressure to perform, as we’re all part of a group, which sometimes splits into pairs or smaller groups.
