Life is Improvisation

Gentle invitation into making it balanced between guided and creative flow

Dance - is a metaphor for insubordinate, light, sophisticated thought; a sign of a possibility for art embedded in a body.

— Alain Badiou, contemporary French philosopher

Embodiment is the manner by which (how) we (it is inter-relational) create (it is generative) our (identity is key) being (are), moment by moment in relationship to all our social, cultural and environmental contexts.

— Mark Walsh (The Body in Coaching and Training)

I consist of body and soul - in the words of a child. And why shouldn't we speak like children?
Body is a big sagacity, a plurality with one sense, a war and a peace, a flock and a shepherd.

I have been practicing with Dina for about two months, and I already feel the progress in the ways I sense my body. Dina in a very gentle, attentive and caring way offer me trying different poses, and I opened some things I have not opened in two years psychotherapy. Home tasks assist me in applying positive changes in every day. It is amazing that there is embodiment and Dina as a caring, attentive and experienced guide in it.

It was for me much more than about the dance, - it was about the real time for myself and about the confidence. In the beginning I was quite reserved on improvisation and even felt myself a bit tense on the body level. But already from the second meeting I wondered the powerful changes in myself. I could detach from routine and I was in strong connection with myself, my body (in spite of that I was in the group). I started to listen to myself and to sense my body, it was not possible before because of many everyday issues and thoughts in my mind.

Today was a special day for me. I was dancing-improvising my story in Duende at our finishing meeting, I used the music "Be yourself" of Percua. And, standing in the hall center, facing our warm and safe group, I felt how my body is trembling, and how emotions block my movements. And inside everything was eager to go with my favorite music flow in full power! And when I could get rid of the tension, not only y body, but everything inside me was dancing in freedom!

And here - I was flying! I wanted more and more... like I was released to the freedom! I realized that for my body stories it is important only how am I now, and how my body expresses it. It was really very exciting, and at the same time, inner fire was burning our limits and personal blocks! And two months after we became absolutely different.

Appreciations to my friends and colleagues for sharing the exercises which help to develop and work on the inner states. When I was doing the exercise from Dina "What water is like?", I woke up in the morning, took a glass of water... and at this moment I have realized that it is the first my day starts with, and it is the basic need. I asked myself a question: what do i need as water? The answer came to me, but I did not stop. I took my earphones, switched my favorite music, and the music started to surround me, and I became a water in my dancing. Thank you, Dina, as in the exercise I realized that this all is about me and my view of the new relationships.
