Alchemy CLASS SCHEDULE
Where the heart is in the art
1) THE ALCHEMY PERFORMANCE SERIES
…an INTENSIVE journey for those who want to delve deeply and share soulfully…
This 8-week SUMMER workshop explores IMPROVISATION as a means to discover deep levels of embodiment, connection and presence.
With a focus on movement, we develop trust in our inner world - embracing the unique qualities that make us who we are, and allowing them to activate and inspire the dance. Together, we embark on a deep excavation of the connections between inner self and outer expression - through dance, writing, drawing and sharing. In a dynamic process of affirmation and transformation, we explore and integrate our sensations, feelings, memories and imaginings through the body and the breath. Alchemy engages the heart and enriches the spirit in a joyful celebration of the moving moment.
Weekly improvised performance culminates in a final 'showing' for invited guests. Beginners and Experienced Alchemists warmly welcomed.

2) THE ALCHEMY DROP-IN SERIES
…a DROP-IN series for those seeking a taste of the Alchemy experience…
This 6-week workshop will focus on IMPROVISATION as a pathway to transformation - as we discover deep levels of embodiment, connection and presence.
In a climate of non-judgment and trust, we will explore movement through spontaneous play - as we dance on our own and together. Mind/body awareness, inspirational imagery and exercises to deepen the connection between our hearts and our dance, will combine to liberate movement that is tender, expressive and alive.
Using dance, writing, witnessing and sharing, this workshop is designed for those wishing to honour the unique qualities of their moving body, embrace authenticity and expand understanding of the creative process. Alchemy engages the heart and enriches the spirit in a joyful celebration of the moving moment.
