Fearless Waves: 5Rhythms with Meaghan Tiggrr Fearless

a 5Rhythms Investigation
Friday: Oct 28th, 8:00-10:00pm

tiggrr4



...
We come together in Fearless Waves to put our whole being into motion, to move through whatever is stuck and holding us back from the empowering dance of our Fearlessness.

We move without choreography in this dance form, but we are not without a map to follow.

The 5Rhythms is a conscious movement-based practice developed by Gabrielle Roth over more than 40 years of investigation. It is a practice which is putting bodies and psyches in motion and inspiring transformation and healing all around the world.

Whether you are a devotee of the 5Rhythms or completely new to the practice, a dancer or a devoted couch potato, excited or truly nervous,  there is a place for you on the Solstice dancefloor.

Contribute what you can!

FLOW is the earthy and sensual rhythm of our own body and the earth, from which all form emerges and to which all returns ... Getting in tune with our flow is where we begin our dance, it is the initiation into the other rhythms.  If we don't take the time to breathe deep and feeel into our flesh-born vehicle, it is a challenging thing to navigate through all the steps and rhythms of our unique dance, let alone the world and all that comes our way. Without our flow, there is a disconnect between what we feel and what we do. My offering in these sessions is to create a space to move through and heal that disconnect, to get our feet moving and our roots juiced up and feeding the beautiful integrated fluid being we each are when connected to our flow ... Our body is our real home in this world, let's live in it! We will be exploring different aspects of this rhythm and how it is related to the others in these sessions, moving in silence as well as with music.

SoloSalon

A chance for dancers to come together for support in creating a solo/duet dance.  The solo salon is open to all levels and styles of dance. 

There will be 3 meetings:  

Sept. 25th: 6-8pm general meeting with discussion and guidance with Sera SolsticeOct. 29th 6-9pm or Oct 30th 3-8pm (you will sign up for a 10 minute time slot of your choice within these times): Here you will present your work-in-progress to Sera and other dancers,  and receive a one-on-one short critique from Sera. Sign up for your time-slot at the Sept. 25th meeting.  
November 6th: Performance of your solo (open to the public).  We will meet at 5pm for a run-through of the show.  There will likely be 2 shows, 7pm and 9pm (depending upon the theater space--tba soon).  Solo performance length is limited to 2:15.  Dancers are encouraged to begin work on their solo now.  You are encouraged to find the music and movements that are most expressive of your life right now. There are no specific requirements or theme for this performance.   Performance is not necessary for participation in the solo salon...perhaps you just want some support in creating your own dance.  Participants are encouraged to attend the entire critique session to witness and give positive feedback to other dancers.  There will be no additional critique dates added. You are not required to receive a critique or participate in the initial meeting in order to participate in the performance, although these meetings are where the dancer may gain most from participation.  Upon enrollment, dancers will receive all class notes from previous solo salon meetings, created to give guidance on how to make a solo. 

Cost:  $100 (due (in full) by Oct. 1st.) Price is the same for everyone, regardless of level of participation, past participation, or studio affilation.

9pm - 10:30pm at Solstice Studio

Price:  Free!!! (donations to Solstice Studio accepted but not expected) 

Mz Meaghan Tiggrr Fearless offers a 4-class series for getting in touch with your gorgeous intuitive soul through dance, following the map of the 5Rhythms, a practice developed by Meaghan's long-time teacher and mentor Gabrielle Roth.

tiggrr4

What are the 5Rhythms? The 5Rhythms are a practice which celebrates our own bodies, whatever shape they are in, as our spiritual path. We practice the Rhythms by

getting downright down and righteous on the dancefloor.

By name, the 5Rhythms are: Flowing, Stacatto, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness. The rhythms follow one after the other, in waves. For this series Mz Fearless has crafted musical sets which will carry dancers through the wave, with a focus each week on a different style of music and a different rhythm.  There will be exercises, demonstration, and instruction, but the focus will be on dancing, on moving beyond mind and being danced. 

Participation in all four classes is encouraged, but not obligatory. 

All are welcome. You don't have to be a Dancer or know anything about the 5Rhythms to attend. Just arrive on time dressed to sweat, with a bottle of water and a willingness to come into your body. 

This series is part of Mz Fearless's 5Rhythms certification program and there will be no charge. Donations to Solstice studio, however, will be gladly accepted.

We all have a dance living in our bodies which does not belong to any one discipline, which is absolutely unique to each of us. In this workshop we will journey deep within ourselves to free it.


We will create a safe, sacred environment in which we are encouraged to feel our vulnerabilities and express our strengths, and will move through guided meditations both in silence and with music. We will go forth into the unknown, giving permission to ourselves to let go of the rulebook and truly be danced.
Whether a beginning-level seeker, a seasoned ecstatic dancer, or anywhere in between, this session will inspire and empower your personal creative process. Hopefully we will all have some fun along the way!  Bring a notebook or journal; as time and interest allows, we will share our experiences with one another.


Mz Meaghan Tiggrr Fearless is a longtime student of moving poetry.  She offers herself to the community as a performer, event producer, teacher, and temple priestess with the intention of inspiring others' self-expression thru mad dancefloor mojo. She is a founder of the infamous Freek Factory artist collective, Church, and Body Temple, and

She has also performed ritual theater with the Mythmakers at Shambhala Music Festival, danced onstage at Red Rocks with Spearhead, and pounded dancefloors and headspaces at festivals and underground experiences too numerous and/or weird to list .  She offer limitless gratitude for all the inspiration.

Womens' Mysteries

Womens Mysteries
New Moon Ritual for Women

Saturday, February 13th, 7pm

Facilitated by:
Mz Imani (SoulFire, Rhythm Shamans)
and Sera Solstice (East Coast Tribal, Rhythm Shamans)

Ritual for the urban woman...a time of connection to the intuitive self, to set forth desire and goals.

On this new moon, we harken back to the days of the Red Tent, where women gathered privately to find nourishment with sharing of stories, art, music, dance, healing and sisterhood. The purpose of this time is to connect to our innate wisdom, to re-frame our individual challenges into opportunities and envision ways to grow our dreams. Through guided meditation, trance, writing, drumming, song and dance and ritual, we work to clear a path to our own hearts.

Mz Imani has offered New York an amazing gift as a facilitator of CoSM's full Moon and new moon gatherings. We are honored to have her presence monthly, as a shaman, priestess, elder, drummer and facilitator for one of the core events at Solstice Studio. 

Womens' Mysteries is a ritual which is intended to support each woman to find core strength, connect to intuition, to re-set, reclaim, re-ignite desires, goals, ideas, love and empowerment.

Please meditate on what you want to build in this upcoming moon cycle, so that you are clear about your intentions.

Please bring a small healthy snack to share, such as one piece of fruit that can be sliced up, a bowl of Quinoa or brown rice, raw veggies, etc.
