Sensory Symphony: Navigating the Dance of Interoception
EMBODi Dance becomes a symphony of sensations—participants feeling the subtle shifts in weight, the gentle stretch of muscles, the rhythm of breath, and the pulsating beat of their own heart. Through this sensory exploration, the dance becomes a dialogue between the external movements and the internal responses, weaving a tapestry of holistic experience.
This Embodied Dance is a rhythm that echoes through your daily life, enhancing meaningful experiences, fostering resilience, moments of reflection, gratitude and enhancing social connections.
Architects of Movement:
The Intelligent Body
EMBODi Dance respects the body's intelligent architecture. The choreography emphasizes joint care and the cultivation of healthy movement patterns.
It is not merely a sequence of steps but a dance that listens and responds to the body's wisdom.

The converted church venue, The Circle, Bacup, immerses the dancer in this exploration, heightening the sensory experience as participants moving within its awe-inspiring architecture.

Adiemus
The musical playlist for our Sanctuary dance draws heavily from the music repertoire of Karl Jenkins. To categorize 'Adiemus' simply as a piece for sopranos and orchestra would confine it within preexisting conventions, a limitation that the Welsh composer would probably contest.
While the piece finds its inspiration in gospel and African musical traditions, and the rhythmic percussion imparts a tribal-like cadence to the unrestrained vocals, it intriguingly adopts structures from the European classical tradition, such as rondo and ternary forms.
