Transcending Reality through
Movement
Using dance and physical expression to go beyond the confines of ordinary experience, unlocking deeper emotional, psychological, and spiritual realms. It allows you to connect with their innermost selves, shedding the constraints of daily life and entering a heightened state of consciousness. Through movement, the body becomes a vessel for transformation, where emotions and thoughts are no longer bound by linear reality but are expressed in fluid, abstract forms. This practice taps into universal themes—identity, memory, faith, and connection—inviting participants and audiences to explore alternate realities and perspectives.
In this transcendence, movement becomes a bridge between the physical and metaphysical, offering an embodied experience of self-discovery and healing. By breaking away from the habitual patterns of movement and thought, dancers access altered states of awareness where boundaries dissolve and deeper truths emerge. Whether through improvisation, ritualistic dance, or abstract choreography, the act of moving becomes a portal to experiences that cannot be fully grasped through words alone, allowing for a profound exploration of the human condition and beyond.
Altered states of consciousness through Movement
The 5 Elements Movement Practice invites participants to embark on a transformative journey through movement, self-exploration, and meditative practice. The 5 Elements Movement Practice combines techniques from Dream and Memory-Based Movement, Body Contact Work, Improvisation, Ritualistic Dance among other practices to create a space for freedom, connection, and expression.
The ultimate goal of this workshop is to facilitate a shared environment where participants can reconnect with their pure essence. Through guided movement, internal visualisations, and meditative states, participants will explore the depth of their inner world and foster a greater sense of balance and well-being.
The practice is centred on the five natural elements—Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether—using each as a framework to inspire the practice. These elements serve as channels for various emotional and energetic states, inviting participants to explore their bodies and minds in expansive ways and find themselves in altered states of consciousness.
Whether you are seeking to deepen your self-awareness, improve your well-being, or simply experience a profound shift through movement, this workshop offers the space to unlock new levels of creativity and self-connection. The emphasis is on experiential learning, allowing participants to explore their unique expression through improvisation and sensory awareness, while cultivating mindfulness and embodiment.
Juan Sánchez Plaza guides the practice with a deep passion for bringing together diverse people and communities, creating an environment where everyone can freely express themselves and evolve through the transformative power of movement.
