“Dance is the language our bodies speak,
revealing the untold stories of our souls.”
Our body is the vessel of our experiences and emotions. It speaks a language that often goes unheard amidst the noise of our busy minds. Before words, thoughts, and ideas, our bodies would convey messages that are both ancient and instinctual. The cry of an infant arises out of bodily sensation – not intellect. Do we ever attune our awareness to the subtle whispers of our breath, the gentle movement of our muscles, or the transient waves that pass over our skin?
Through the language of movement, through our dance, and through our kinaesthetic awareness, our bodies reveal truths that may elude our conscious minds. A sudden tension may signify the weight of deep unresolved burdens. While levity, as we glide across space, could be mirroring the joy and lightness of a soul feeling freedom and peace.
In dance, we encounter the realm where words are replaced by the eloquence of motion. Our bodies may unveil emotions tucked away in forgotten corners of our ever busy lives. When we listen to our body’s dance, we connect instinctively with the desires we have yet to embrace. This body is not only a biological collection of organic matter – it is the vital and living manifestation of self. When we truly listen through the dance, we enter into journeys of profound self-discovery. Our dances honour our innate wisdom, waiting patiently to be heard, felt, and danced.
_Christos Daskalakos
