Solitude? Loneliness? Peace? Privacy? Isolation?
At the core of Open Floor philosophy is the understanding that “we are in relationship”. Every cell of our bodies, every aspect of our evolution is relational, every thought, interaction, motion, and cue we get for every choice we make is relationship. We are in relationship not only with each other, and ourselves but also with animals, land, art, ancestry, and the entire natural world.
Relationship is a need, much in the same way as food and water. The drive for relationship is an inner directive, with a natural cycle of being hungry, full, and then hungry again.
That’s why in Open Floor practice we distinguish between for hungers
Hunger for solitude, connection, belonging and spirit
During the last 6 months we have been exploring quite a lot the hunger for connection and belonging.
The topic of our next common dance is the hunger for solitude and I have been inspired by two beautiful poems written by the Irish poet Pádraig Ó Tuama.
When we are hungry for solitude, we are longing to be left alone and moving with our own experience. At other times we feel lonely or trapped in our own solitude, unable to move out and make connection. We might avoid our self through constant engagement and partnering with others.
Sometimes we feel ashamed of our solitude, we isolate, get lonely… and sometimes solitude is what we need so much to find inner peace and quiet.
So, solitude is definitely a topic that is challenging. What if we tried to consider solitude or loneliness from another perspective, through movement and dance. And what if solitude was one of the clues to find the way home to our deeper Self.
And what if solitude or loneliness was a gateway to art? Whatever art this might be…
For us, this Saturday, it might be the art of moving, of dancing…
It definitely has been one for Pádraig Ó Tuama….
Come and join us on a common floor and in a common dance!
Good music is going to support us in our explorations.
