Bodied Dynamics of Rhythm

Wellness
Written By Entheogenesis Australis

Bodied Dynamics of Rhythm is a 'move and talk' workshop that looks at the body's ability to learn, restore and adapt through experiences of rhythm. Join dance movement therapist Niki for a look under the hood at the roots of moving rhythmically, and how it can support us to feel better - something festival goers may know from experience! Niki will speak to theoretic ideas from neurophysiological theory, the growing influence of these ideas on the mental health paradigm, and how they reflect the global net of dance folkways that embody knowledge of dance as medicine.
