Information
Dance of Awareness (DoA) is a group movement practice that invites participants to revisit and explore the stages of childhood development through shared movement experiences. As the group moves together through each developmental stage, participants are encouraged to deepen their awareness of embodied patterns and relational dynamics. DoA draws on a range of influences, integrating body-based approaches with psychoanalytic theories of child development.
During this two-day training, participants will be introduced to the theoretical foundations of the practice, providing a framework for the experiential learning that follows. The training gradually introduces a selection of core exercises before culminating in a complete Dance of Awareness cycle experienced together as a group.
This training is suitable for anyone wishing to deepen their understanding of body-based and movement-oriented approaches, expand their self-awareness, and engage in an embodied approach to learning. It is particularly valuable for those interested in integrating movement into therapeutic, educational, or personal development practices.
