    Join Shannon Cooney on April 25 & 26 for 𝑫𝒚𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒄 𝑬𝒙𝒑𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏™ & 𝑴𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝑪𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒎𝒂.

    𝑫𝒚𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒄 𝑬𝒙𝒑𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏™ is an embodiment-based dance/movement practice. This approach invites participants to perceive and connect with the fluid body. By attuning oneself sensorially and physically to the flowing movement dynamics of the craniosacral system and its phenomena of stillness, a unique approach to movement research emerges.

    The performance practice 𝑴𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝑪𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒎𝒂 deepens the perceptual connection to the visual field. It pursues a cinematic approach to movement, expanding tools for the performance of being seen. This session opens up a space of experience for deep connection, sensory refinement, and the discovery of new movement patterns. Participants will engage in guided movement meditations and improvised compositions inspired by the natural dynamics of water, as well as live cinematic observations. These explorations will take place in autonomous, non-contact partner and group formats.

We host an array of programming including in-person and virtual workshops, performances, facilitated talks, collective practices, & our annual Summer Love-In Festival.

 

Toronto Dance Love-In is thankful to gather on the traditional Indigenous territory of Tkaronto. This is the ancestral and unceded land of the Wyandot people, Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabeg and Mississaugas of the Credit. We recognize them and any other Nations acknowledged and unacknowledged, recorded and unrecorded as the past, present and future caretakers of this Land. We are grateful to the Elders and Story-keepers who have been telling the story of this Land for generations. At Love-In, we are actively learning how to honour and upkeep the protocols of this territory and live in alignment with the treaties of this region. With these words we honour the Land and its caretakers. We commit to challenging the ongoing injustices and the impact of colonialism by providing spaces that operate from an anti-oppressive, social justice perspective.
