SOME DANCING HISTORY…

“Dancing for me began as a clandestine activity in my bedroom as a teenager, awakening and igniting my spirit in ways I had never dreamed were possible. In time I came across and immersed in the dual movement pathways of raving and Tai Chi. Discovering the 5Rhythms in 1998, I felt like I had come home.

I danced and learned this movement meditation practice intensively with Gabrielle Roth, Ya’Acov & Susannah Darling Khan and several other teachers, eventually training with Gabrielle in 2004-05 and beginning to teach. I was then involved in Movement Medicine from its inception by Y&S DK, working as a pathfinder and faculty teacher for the School of Movement Medicine. 

For 15 years I held classes, workshops and dancing ceremonies in London and other European cities. The weekly Sweaty Thursdays, held in a big church in south London, became something of a subcultural phenomenon, spawning a vibrant movement community.

This was the ground from which emerged the seminal dancingTao collective, a collaborative experiment in holding dance spaces, movement-based community reach-out and special events like the Rhythm Village festival and international All In Movement project.

When the Covid-19 pandemic came, I rode the first lockdown teaching on Zoom, but then came to realise that the time was calling me into radical change. I stepped back from movement teaching and from my organisational and community roles. I took an extended period for personal practice, family time and other work. I went deep into existential enquiry and creative renewal.

Glimpses of Light was the result, rooted in South Devon ground and presenting The Dancefloor Jedi Project and other new initiatives as part of a multi-disiplinary artistic offering.” – Christian

Core Resources from The Dancefloor Jedi Project…

“Dancing is surely the most basic and relevant of all forms of expression. Nothing can so effectively give outward form to an inner experience. Poetry and music exist in time. Painting and architecture are a part of space. But only the dance lives at once in both space and time. In it the creator and the thing created, the artist and the expression, are one. Each participates completely in the other. There could be no better metaphor for an understanding of the mechanics of the cosmos.”

I have also studied Amerta (the movement work of Suprapto Suyodarmo, aka Prapto) Processwork / Worldwork, Taoism and various threads of Shamanic / Animist practice (with Malidoma Somé, Chris Luttichau and Daniel Foor amongst others) – all of which inform and guide my movement facilitation and ritual-holding.
