S1 Ep3 Dance workshop (Stillness as Dance)

S1 Ep3 Dance workshop (Stillness as Dance)

In this episode, we explore the role of stillness in dance and how pauses, holds, and subtle micro-movements shape the way we perceive and create movement.

Through guided exercises, you’ll develop a deeper awareness of your body’s natural stillness, experiment with accumulating stillness, and play with the contrast between motion and pause. You’ll also reflect on how stillness interacts with movement, space, and attention, helping you notice nuances in your dancing and expand your creative expression.

With exercises designed for solo practice or paired exploration, this episode highlights how both movement and stillness are essential tools for understanding and shaping your personal dance vocabulary.
