DEEP WATER DANCE:  BECOMING WATER

DEEP WATER DANCE:

BECOMING WATER

27th - 29th August.

Cairo, EGYPT.

An immersive three day journey into movement, somatics and the intelligence of water.

Water Dance Fundamentals |

Somatic Movement | Freediving

Dance 6m below & create your own film. Beginners welcome.

*********

Deep Water Dance is an immersive movement practice that invites you to experience water not simply as an environment, but as a partner in movement, sensation and expression.

Over three days, we will explore the body in suspension — discovering what becomes possible when gravity is reduced, the body is supported from every direction, and movement can become fluid, multidimensional and deeply intuitive.

This course brings together underwater dance, somatic movement, breath awareness, improvisation, partner work and creative exploration to develop a deeper relationship with your body and with the water.

*******

🌊 What we will explore

• Somatic awareness

Learn to listen more closely to internal sensations, subtle impulses and the language of your body.

• Water as a movement partner

Explore how buoyancy, resistance, pressure and flow can support and transform movement rather than simply being something you move against.

• Deep water movement

Learn foundational techniques for moving, floating, spiralling and transitioning through three-dimensional space underwater.

• Breath & presence

Explore relaxation, breath awareness and the relationship between breath, movement and presence.

• Surrender & letting go

Discover what happens when you release unnecessary muscular effort and allow the water to support you.

• Improvisation

Develop your own underwater movement vocabulary through guided improvisations and playful exploration.

• Partner work

Explore touch, trust, weight, listening and non-verbal communication through movement with another person.

• Flow & transitions

Learn to connect movements into continuous, fluid sequences rather than thinking in isolated steps.

• Emotional & sensory exploration

Use the unique sensory qualities of water to explore different states of presence, expression and embodiment.

• Creative underwater choreography

Experiment with creating short movement phrases and compositions in the water.

• Filming your movement

You will have the opportunity to be filmed underwater, creating a beautiful take-home video of your movement experience.

🤍 Who is it for?

No previous dance or freediving experience is required.

You simply need to be comfortable swimming and open to exploring movement in water.

You don't need to consider yourself a dancer. You don't need freediving skills. The practice is about curiosity, awareness and discovering what your body can do when the water becomes part of the movement.

✨ Over the weekend you will…

Move beyond conventional ideas of dance and explore the body as a fluid, sensing, three-dimensional being.

You will learn to listen to the water, listen to your body, release emotional blockages, and develop a movement practice based on presence rather than performance.

This is an invitation to slow down, soften, surrender and discover a different way of moving.

*******

Please bring with you a swimming mask that covers the nose and eyes. If you do not have one please be in contact as I have a few spare. Otherwise I have nose clips which I can lend out, which will also be sufficient.

Please bring with you drinking water, a towel, swimming suit, and on the final day anything you wish to wear underwater for your underwater video shoot.

It can also be useful to bring a long sleeve swimming top of pants / swimming rash guard vest and bottoms, to protect you from the sun if necessary or to keep you warmer in the water if you are sensitive to getting cold.

The Tolip pool is a heated pool and most usually individuals are finding the temperature comfortably to be in for the duration of the session.
