Simple Spaces: Experiential Dance & Sharing
- 2 minsWhat, where and when?
I want to offer the oppurtunity to enjoy individual creative/authentic movement and being heard by others in a very accessible format. Make a regular day shine and fulfill some basic human needs 😊
This event might be better suited for people who have done experiential dance or sharing before - but beginners are welcome as well. Just maybe contact me before with any questions you might have. And never hesitate to contact me in the space (even if I seem busy, as I will be joining myself).
The event will be from 14.45-16.00 on the 29th of January 2026 in CREA. We meet in the cafe and will go up to the room together. Address: Nieuwe Achtergracht 170, 1018 WV Amsterdam
Schedule
14.45-15.00 Establishing the space
Establishing guidelines for the event and space to share anything you need as a participant. Be on time! This event has a closed doors policy so we can immediately dive into the dance without further interruptions.
15.00-15.30 Dance Experientially [unguided, non-verbal]
Dancing individually to a nice short flow. Feel free to observe, smile at or get inspired by others, please but don’t initiate contact.
15.30-15.55 Sharing [guided]
Share whatever is alive in you for 7 uninterrupted minutes with another person. Your partner will do an exercise in listening in presence without reacting. Non-verbal feedback is welcome to show, but we try to not show it on purpose. Then we switch.
15.55 Closure with the group
We take a breath and get ready for the rest of our day.
Cost
This event is unconditionally given. That means it’s a gift to the world from me, and I have no expectation of reciprocity (If I do somehow, please contact me with your feedback.)
That doesn’t mean I don’t welcome energy exchange. I’ll lovingly accept your gift of food, money, massage. Teach or lend me your skills, offer me to use your canoe during summer or whatever else you come up with 😇.
Mentions
- I’m experimenting with formats and I would love your feedback. Knowing what worked for you and what didn’t will help me in shaping these spaces. It is especially helpful for me to know how you felt during certain moments.
- I take responsibility for the space and for the exercises, but I expect from participants that they take responsibility for themselves and their own boundaries.
- After the event the CREA cafe will be the designated hangout space.
- For this event the definition of dance will be: If you move, you are dancing. And if you breathe, you are moving.
- Please be 5 minutes early (so 14.40).
- If possible, bring a yoga mat or meditation cushion to sit on during the sharing (I’ll bring a few as well).
