There will also be a taster session by donation on Monday night kl. 19 – 21

The introduction evenings will culminate in a final Ritual dance with drummer on the last day. Every time we meet for rehearsals Malene will explain a little about the meaning behind the whole, and also summarize through dialogue the purpose of the dance. After warming up there will be a program with dance exercises that train our ability to dance to inner impulse and internal pictures and additionally we will train in common dance routines and songs which will be the link between our individual expression. We dance primarily in a circle. In the circle we will tell through dramatic dance, by our common reference, a story from Norse mythology. The circle creates the magic, confidence and excitement. We see, hear and feel one another. Both light and shadow. Whoever is a friend of myth, friend with wisdom. It will be a creation report carried by humor and play out of spontaneity and a structured foundation. The children’s Sleeping Beauty story, for example, is about the curse and the blessing, sleep and awakening. Life contrasts. Dramaturgical meetings, JEG’et a DU and life changing. This is the fundamental story, the mother of all narratives. It goes well, it goes badly, it ends well.
In our society, many blessing rituals have survived, for example, the confirmation ceremony celebrated in Denmark. For some this may be a little rosy, shameful, cloying and alienating. By also dancing, make visible and articulating life’s shadow side, we can perhaps become stronger and less anxious. It is also a relief that all archetypal beings are welcome. It can be completely claustrophobic when we are only interested in humankind. In myth we see the giants, dwarves, animals, gods, heroes and monsters. Here we practice to dare give up the beauty in order to regain it again. We look forward so much to dancing with you.
