This workshop introduces Javanese and Balinese traditional dance as an embodied experience, exploring its rituals, physical intensities, and transformative potential. These dances live within religious ceremonies, sacred rituals, court traditions, popular celebrations, and community life, connecting people with one another, with nature, and with a sense of the transcendent. Rather than treating these forms as decorative folklore, the workshop approaches them as living practices - powerful, evolving, and deeply rooted in community. Alongside an introduction to traditional forms, themes, masks, mythology, natural elements, and ancestral memory, participants are invited to engage with the practice through movement, repetition, and attention. Kadek will guide participants through fundamental elements, forms, philosophy, and the spirit of Javanese and Balinese dance. The workshop begins with meditative movement practices, sometimes in silence, and sometimes accompanied by traditional or contemporary gamelan music. The movements are flowing and attentive, with a focus on presence, energy, and connection. Through practice and repetition, participants will have space to explore their own interpretations, improvisations, and transformations, allowing the forms to become personal, collective, and alive in the present moment.
