ABOUT THE PRACTICE

flow space is a dancing workshop--or a living landscape of words, images, rhythms and melodies. We will be guided into writing a living poem, one that we experience with all our senses and discover as we go.

We move through 3 stages: introductions and arrival (tuning into our senses); flow (gently facilitated, with plenty of prompts to explore); and closure (stillness/breath). The space is open afterwards for reflection, drawing, snacking, or just hanging out.

Flow space is intended for those interested in movement and creativity, and is accessible for all kinds of bodies and movers. We do not concern ourselves so much with how dancing looks, but with how it feels.

We move to experience insight, freedom and catharsis in our bodies, and to explore the wisdom of our bodies.

HOW DO I DO IT?

There is no right or wrong way to participate, once the flow begins: dynamic or slow, playful or silly, anxious or unsure - everything belongs.

You will be guided into following the flow so that you can move (or not move) your body in the way that feels right to you, in each moment.

ABOUT YOUR HOST

Ellie grew up in the world of ballet and danced professionally for a decade. She developed flow space in 2023 as a movement sanctuary: a place to escape perfectionistic pursuits, invest in creativity, and explore the unexpected and unknown together with kindred spirits. An avid writer and music-maker, she loves nothing more than the synesthesia of mixing her crafts, and embodying poetry by dancing it.

Ellie believes that truth is felt in the body. She also believes that every meal is better with kimchi, and enjoys staring at trees.
