Participants explore movement during a workshop
We might need more than the thought of no one watching to be able to dance to our fullest. Exercises and practices to connect with our truest emotions might also help. If you’re a little shy but want to use movement to express yourself to the happiest, there’s a relatively new technique called Emotion in Motion (EiM) developed by movement guide Vishal Telang that will be taught during a four-day workshop this month.
Telang developed EiM during the COVID-19 lockdowns, to introduce a larger audience to the joy and freedom of movement without the fear of choreography, or having to keep up with the skill level of trained dancers. “I wanted to break the ideology that dance must be performative. EiM involves free movement that is backed by belief and with one’s emotions intact,” Telang shares. But what does that mean? “When I talk about emotions, I’m referring to breathwork. Our breathing patterns change when our emotions change. And breathwork is an important and integrated part of EiM.”
