Biodanza workshop with Cristiano Martins

Welcome to Biodanza weekend journey with amazing Cristiano Martins (Portugal)
Theme: IDENTITY - the courage to be
During this weekend I am inviting You to dance the two paradoxes of identity:
a) Identity reveals itself only through “the other”.
b) Identity has an invariable essence and at the same time that it constantly transforms

We are also going to investigate:
Identity & Relations
Identity & Love
Identity & Self Esteem
Identityn& Self-image about Sexuality
Identity & Roles
Identity & Alterity
Identity & Cosmic Consciousness
What is Biodanza?
Based on anthropological studies of dance and traditional rituals of the celebration of life,
Biodanza stimulates community, awakens a consciousness for universal solidarity, helps
participants to recover their joy and vitality, and celebrates the sacredness of life.
Biodanza means Dance of Life. It is a system that integrates music, movement and
authentic relating to create experiences of intense awareness of being alive in the here-
and-now. These experiences are known as vivências. Vivências are portals that allow
access to primal emotions and help the most natural expression of one's true self emerge
through movement.
No dance experience is necessary.
The word Identity comes from the late latin “identitas” and it means the capacity to
experience oneself as a unique entity, as the centre of perception of the world, starting
from an “unavoidable and moving corporal vivencia” (Rolando Toro). The perception of our
own identity gives us an absolute reference and locate us in Life.
Modern Psychology bring to us the news that identity its an endless and multidimensional
process! “We are too late for the gods and too early for being, the human is an unfinished
poem”. Martin Heidegger
To become who we are we need a lot of courage to take on and express all our potentials
and a lot of courage to be vulnerable to the realm of feeling, in a very simplistic way we
can define courage as nothing more than a “love affair as unknown”.
