Every Body Knows -
Moving into Presence with Defne Erdur,
24-29 November 2019, Peace Castle Schlaining, Austria
"The mind is like the wind and the body like the sand:
If you want to see how the wind is blowing, you can look at the sand."
— Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen
There is nothing new under the sun! And yet "everything that is" invites us to dive deeper into the layers of our presence; to seek a conscious yet liberated and sovereign place to dance our life from. Together we will be zooming into our physical, emotional and mental foundation. We will be working with the sensations and anatomical make up of our bodies from conception until now, directing our awareness to responses for inner and outer stimuli. Building awareness of our perception system in action, gradually allowing habitual patterns to change, we will find our own resources for resilience: strength, flexibility and endurance. Let’s meet in an elevated flow, experiencing self-sufficient, self-satisfied and effortless bodies as we move and dance.
Besides four Holotropic Breathwork Sessions (2 as a breather and 2 as a sitter) principles and various tools from Experiential Anatomy, Developmental Movement, Authentic Movement, Expressive Art Therapies and Contact Improvisation will be at our guidance to relate to our own unique self and reach out to dance with our soul and others.
No previous experience with Holotropic Breathwork, dance or movement practices is needed. If you feel drawn, you are welcome!
Agenda
We will start on 24th November at 9:30 am with registration and close on 29th November at lunch time (around 1 pm). A more detailed schedule will be given shortly before the event.

Lecturer Information
Defne Erdur (TR/FR) is trained in Contemporary Dance (PhD), Sociology (MA), Intermodel Expressive Art Therapy, Body Therapies (Deep Tissue Release, Trigger Point & Movement, Integrative Cranio Sacral Therapy), Meditation (WPI Trainer), and Trauma Healing (Somatic Experiencing and Integral Somatic Psychology Practitioner).
Intrested in building safe, inclusive, and collaborative creative environments the prospect of all her work is to mediate people to relate to their own self and accompany them in their physical, mental, and emotional processes towards wellbeing.
Besides her private practice, she has been regularly teaching at ImPulsTanz Vienna International Dance Festival, MSGSU Istanbul State Conservatory, CI-Turkey, ElimSende and ÇATI Associations. She also gives workshops (Hunting Gathering Cultivating, Every Body Knows, Mind the Body, and Embodying Time) around the world (Tanzhaus Zurich, Konservatorium Wien, Mandala İstanbul, Kuala Lumpur, Vienna, Berlin, Freiburg CI Festivals...), working with different populations (professional and amateur movers, therapists, women, and migrant children and youth).
She worked for WINPeace, Beyond Borders Initiative, and MENA Salam Fellowship towards peace building in the Middle East region. She is the editor of idocde.net and co-editor of mindthedance.com
In sum, she curiously keeps dancing on the transitive line between art and life.
