What is It?

Colour Dance is the partnership of colour therapy with expressive movement and music to explore and discover how colour affects our moods, emotions and cakras.

How does it work?

The space is flooded with a single coloured light

we take time to focus within on how this colour makes us feel

using a vast array of musical instruments, musicians, drums and percussion we express both musically and with movement and voice how this colour makes us feel.

we come back in a circle to share what we felt

What does it do?

It helps us to discover for ourselves how colours make us feel- thus we can use this in everyday life to enhance our environment and moods

many healers gain useful insights into the true effects of colour on healing and emotions, rather than sticking to the outdated, dogmatic idea of there being set rainbow colours dedicated to set chakras ( correctly spelt cakras)

we get to dance and make music together which is totally improvised, boundary less , inspired by a single colour

we allow ourselves to be as loud, wild, sad, angry, vulnerable, ecstatically happy, silly and fun as we dare in a safe and nurturing environment where everything we do is correct.

we push our own boundaries and try new instruments, moves, and interactions in a fun and sharing way, discovering our similarities and differences in how colours effect us.

What will we Gain from it?

The most fun, and freedom I've felt for a long time

an amazing experience

I never knew I could dance like that and shout so loud

it felt really tribal , almost animal like

I never realised colours could have such an effect on me

its like it wasn't me dancing ,I was carried by the music like a tree in the breeze

I got completely lost in sounds of the gong

How do different colours make you feel?

You really do need to experience it for yourself as as the same colour effects different people in different ways and even the same colour can effect the same person in a different way on a different day depending on your energy and moods, but here are some examples of what people have found so far:

Yellow

light and skippy

happy and sunny

I couldn't help laughing and giggling

it made me feel sick it was revolting

Red

stompy like a big animal

womblike , safe and warm

really hot and angry

tribal and loud drumming

caveman energy, very earthy

Blue

cold and stillness

watery like a fish swimming

floaty and light and gentle

challenging

not sure

I wanted to sing a lot
