List description of workshops

1) Creative Movement & Dance in Worship

Originally all movement is found in God. Through His mighty word the world was created and by the move of his will, all came into being. As created beings we reflect that ability to move and create. Our actions and reactions are seen and noticed through movement and we all know that sometimes our bodies and gestures say so much more then our words ever can.

Because God is the ultimate creator, we can learn so much from His artwork - creation. In Rom 1:20 Paul says clearly that God's invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature - are manifest in creation. Therefore creation with all its facets and beauty is accessible for us to learn how to move and dance before God.

This workshop is based on the seven days of creation. We will look at different themes and movement ideas and explore how to move them out in our bodies:

2) Creative Expressions through Dance in Worship

Worship is an expression of love, adoration and respect towards God involving our thoughts, emotions and body. The way God's Spirit moves through us will impact our body, thoughts and feelings, they can't be separated. Thanks to God's gift of a body that is able to move, we can explore worship through movement and dance and our expression is within body, soul and spirit, a fully integrated approach.

The sessions are aimed towards gaining a deeper inner awareness of Self and God, and exploring new  authentic movements to creatively express our whole being towards God through dance. This will help to become more aware of who we are in Christ, as we move freely in prayer and devotion to God. The content of the sessions implements gentle dance and movement exercises, improvisation work, input from the bible, times of personal and corporal worship through movement, and times of discussion.

3) Creative Dance for Mothers & Toddlers

The program is designed to have  fun, to enjoy artistic  inputs and  to explore creativity within the mother-child relationship. The mothers gain more knowledge and awareness of the movement-development of their child. Another aim is to enhance the relationship between the mother and the child.

The content is aimed towards encouragement of a new way of interaction in a creative way through movement and dance. This workshop is suitable for playgroups in churches or community.
