ReSource; we’re getting resourced, supported, aided. At this point in 2020 many of us are looking for ways to recover, reassess and realign ourselves, finding our place back in this ‘new normal’.
Looking at the word differently, re-source, the source, the beginning, the place of origin. My hunch is that this source is the place we do resource ourselves, nourish our souls, tend to our spirits, nurture our life force.
Each week will be focused on a Core Movement Resources that we utilise in Open Floor. These are: Activate & Settle, Centre, Dissolve, Expand & Contract, Ground, Pause, Release, Spatial Awareness, Towards & Away and Vector. These help us learn about our own embodiment as well as offering us tools to resource on the dancefloor and also in our daily lives.
In each hour and a half session there’ll be time for dancing (nearly an hour) and time for anything else that is resourcing (about 15 mins) whatever that might be for anyone. It may be time for creativity, meditating, reading, resting. For each of us what is resourcing may look very different, it may be none of those things I’ve mentioned, an impulse might arise in the moment, perhaps inspired by the ‘Core Movement Resource’ of the week and the ability to really tune in to what you need after dancing. I will be offering an idea for an art exercise for those that want to do that.
There will be a facebook group for the two groups, Wednesday and Thursday, to share what’s resourcing over these ten weeks.
Cost: £160 / Concessions & Open Floor Teachers £144
This is an ongoing group, your commitment to being there for as many of the ten weeks as you can is preferable. It is a closed group, once we start others won’t be joining, this helps to hold a clear container.
There will be a limit on group size of approx 20 in each group.
The request is that you choose one group to join, either the Wednesday or Thursday. If there are dates you cannot make, you are welcome to join the other group that week.
You don’t need to have any prior experience of movement to join this group, beginners welcome and also those with experience welcome.
These sessions will not be recorded, it’ll be live, in-the-moment. However the music will be recorded for you to access later should you wish, also the link imagery that Sarah shows will also be available to you.
What you get from joining this group:
-
Embodiment practice, from your own home, connected online
-
Each week a focus on one of the Core Movement Resources
-
Time to explore how you get resourced, nourished & replenished straight after dancing (using the dance as a gateway to nourishment)
-
A suggestion of an art exercise for those that want to do it
-
Link to the soundscape of the week to relisten at any time
-
Link to a resource document for each Core Movement Resource
-
The support of being in an ongoing group with other committed movers.
-
A private facebook group to show what is resourcing you and to be inspired by others

We’re back! Smaller, more spacious and longing to dance.
Please note, there are two smaller shorter groups. We’ll try it like this for a few weeks and see how we get on.
Group 1: 9–10 am
30 mins change over
Group 2: 10.30-11.30 am
Arrive 15 mins before the start of your group.
Tickets can only be purchased in advance, no sales on the door.
Cost: £14 / Concession: £12
Bring your own water bottle.
Wear comfortable clothes to move in.
Dance barefoot or in soft-soled indoor shoes.
Please wear a mask when entering & exiting the building. Masks should not be worn while dancing in accordance with the World Health Organisation – “People should NOT wear masks when exercising, as masks may reduce the ability to breathe comfortably. Sweat can make the mask become wet more quickly which makes it difficult to breathe and promotes the growth of microorganisms. The important preventive measure during exercise is to maintain a physical distance of at least one meter from others.” original WHO information here
Feel free to purchase tickets in advance for the following weeks. If we have to cancel the event you will be given the option to hold the ticket until we are next open or to have your ticket refunded to you minus the Eventbrite admin fee.
Open Floor is a dance mediation practice. Using core movement resources such as grounding, centering, releasing, our aim is to become more embodied, to be more comfortable in our own skin, present for anything and everything. When we live an embodied life we are fluid, flexible and free to experience all of the wild and subtle moments that go by, the ones that are heavenly as well as the ones that have us dragging our feet.
Getting to Peter Griffiths Hall
Peter Griffiths Hall is in the centre of Forest Row with parking in the surrounding area.
Peter Griffiths Hall is round the back of the Freshfield Village Hall. It’s on the ‘Island’ between Tesco’s garage and Lloyds Chemist.
What is an Open Floor class?
It’s dancing, it’s a way of practicing being embodied (learning to listen to ourselves) so it’s called a movement meditation (bringing our attention back to the body over and over again). We explore moving in a variety of ways, moving towards freedom, whatever that might mean for us, it can be quite intimate and personal, or wild and expansive, different for us at different times and each class will have its own particular flavour.
We’re practicing flexiblity of our whole selves, emotionally and soulfully as well as physically.

Please wear a mask when entering & exiting the building. Masks should not be worn while dancing in accordance with the World Health Organisation – “People should NOT wear masks when exercising, as masks may reduce the ability to breathe comfortably. Sweat can make the mask become wet more quickly which makes it difficult to breathe and promotes the growth of microorganisms. The important preventive measure during exercise is to maintain a physical distance of at least one meter from others.” original WHO information here

Open Floor is a dance mediation practice. Using core movement resources such as grounding, centering, releasing, our aim is to become more embodied, to be more comfortable in our own skin, present for anything and everything. When we live an embodied life we are fluid, flexible and free to experience all of the wild and subtle moments that go by, the ones that are heavenly as well as the ones that have us dragging our feet.
Getting to Peter Griffiths Hall
Peter Griffiths Hall is in the centre of Forest Row with parking in the surrounding area.
Peter Griffiths Hall is round the back of the Freshfield Village Hall. It’s on the ‘Island’ between Tesco’s garage and Lloyds Chemist.
What is an Open Floor class?
It’s dancing, it’s a way of practicing being embodied (learning to listen to ourselves) so it’s called a movement meditation (bringing our attention back to the body over and over again). We explore moving in a variety of ways, moving towards freedom, whatever that might mean for us, it can be quite intimate and personal, or wild and expansive, different for us at different times and each class will have its own particular flavour.
We’re practicing flexiblity of our whole selves, emotionally and soulfully as well as physically.
