Impuls. Reaction. Action. Every action is a reaction. The shape and energy of a group action is a result of each personal reaction, to an impuls and to the actions.

7 animals dance is an original method of Paulina Holska. It is a training of breath, voice, body and all layers of contact. It opens for a deep connection between our body, voice and movement. It renders the ability to transform, change, be fully ourself, being in the energy of snake, tiger, dragon, panther, crane, monkey, vermilion bird (or a horse). The method works with the quality and vibration of our presence, determined by our intension, external and internal impulses, from energy of individuals and the group energy. It develops and wakes up the potential of our intuition, which roots from the silence and breath, potent with the impulses and images.

 

7 animals dance opens the ability of metamporphosis through a focused research on qualities, vulnerability, agility of senses, energetical readiness, and connection. It is about the readiness to follow, react, adjust, change, … It is an experience opening to feel, what in practice do mean “7 emotion-movements” in Chinese Medicine, in which are stored all existing psychophysical human states.

 

The motion which exists in our body can be various, and this variety enables us to unique every day, every minute, every wink, every breath. The 'animals' are resembling different states of being present with our body, emotions and soul. The work with images of these animals is rooted in chinese qigong and martial arts, physical theatre, contemporary work with dance and movement, contact improvisation, BMC, and work with voice and ritual actions.
