Dancing for Healing Rain – Fundraiser

Our invitation is to dance for rain as an offering to all those areas around Australia impacted by bushfires. As a practical step 100% of Net Proceeds will go to the CFA and Wires (wildlife care). As we begin Dance the Divine for 2020 we take a moment to send our prayer of love for drenching rains. Funds raised will go to much neended supplies in Victoria and NSW.

Background to Dance the Divine:
An emerging movement practice that invites participants to bring deeper awareness to their bodies. Through focussing on intention, the breath, sound and movement we access the story of the body. Then with dance as the main resource we are seemingly finding ways to begin the repattern our stories individually and collectively.

"A welcome practice on the Melbourne Dance scene, not just about release!"
