Bend, Oregon Workshop: Spring 2025

Intro to Contemplative Dancing: Led by Vincent Martínez-Grieco in Bend, Oregon

Join Vincent as he teaches this seminar towards a mindful, somatic, dancing practice.

Here is what we will do:

We will cultivate mindfulness practices that use breath, imagination, concentration, and a relaxed ground to gain access to a moving intrinsic intelligence.
We will dance in ways that honor both the inside volume of a body and the outside dynamics of a room, including its sounds, spaces, forms, and elements.

Here is what you will learn:
Improvisational dancing techniques to widen your dancing vocabulary and learn again the value of deep listening in creating with others.
Views about the anatomical body moving in space maps of a dance room.

Here is what you will go home with:
Practices to enable your continuing education of mind and body partnering to enhance your well being.
Ways to reduce mental stressors and physical strains that often accompany you throughout the day.
