“The curious beauty about African music is that it uplifts
even as it tells a sad story.”
_Nelson Mandela
Joy is not something we think ourselves into nor is it something we reach outside of us to bring into our lives. Joy is something we awaken from inside. These feelings are directly linked to our level of participation in life which becomes possible when our vitality increases and we have more energy available for spontaneity, curiosity, and play. In these moments creativity awakens and life becomes less predictable and more engaging.
Dance is able to change the way we feel. This is very much dependant on the nature of the movement and the selection of movement. A carefully curated Biodanza Vivencia can lift our spirits and bring us into spontaneous encounters with joy. Nothing is planned and nothing is prescribed. The creative muse that lives in each of us simply emerges allowing us to release the things that sometimes obscure the path to joy and fun.
Playfulness is not childish but rather those instinctive moments in which we allow our movements to emerge spontaneously and without agenda or filters. To connect to the Playful Body we simple immerse ourselves in magical moments of creation that appear as dances full of vitality, creativity, and joy allowing us to experience the immediacy of being alive.
_Christos Daskalakos
