19.01.2022 'Artful Awareness' Online Womxn's Group with Jo Woods, Open Floor Movement Teacher: NOVEMBER SERIES: Begins Friday, Nov 6th... Bookings OPEN!! ABOUT NOVEMBER SERIES: https://fb.me/e/1Ky490EZX ‘Layers & Symbolism’... This November we’ll be working with Collage Together we’ll rip and tear, precisely cut, fold and glue. We’ll let our imagination & intuition guide us to find colours, shapes, images, and words. We’ll create meaning out of the meaningless mess in our recycling bins! Collages are so wonderfully easy to create with no artistic skill required and yet they have this powerful way of speaking and whispering to our hearts. I can think of no better medium for exploring our many delicate layers and hidden pockets of wisdom. So, between now and November 6th, start gathering your old magazines, newspapers, junk mail, handwritten letters, emails, napkins, discarded shopping lists, receipts, business cards, photographs, well-worn children's books, superfluous street maps and join us for what promises to be another rich exploration of Artful Awareness. WHEN? November Series: Nov 6th, 13th, 20th. Friday evenings, 7-9pm. WHERE? On-Line via Zoom COST? $45/$60/$75 for all 3 sessions - Full/Part scholarships available on request. HOW TO JOIN? This is a closed, ongoing group, for all those that identify as Womxn (LGBTQI-Friendly). Class sizes will be capped at a maximum of 21 participants. Each group will run for 3 weeks, with a new intake at the end of each round. BOOKINGS? Follow the TryBooking Link: https://www.trybooking.com/eventlist/artfulawareness

18.01.2022 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYtouKwkXLI Why do we celebrate International Women's Day on March 8? The International Women's Day date was moved to March 8 in 1913. The day aimed to help nations worldwide eliminate discrimination against women. ... It also focused on helping women gain full and equal participation in global development. It is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity. I bow deeply to ALL of those extraordinary women that have so bravely paved the way for us all today. I bow deeply to ALL of those women who today, still carry on fighting for the rights of women everywhere. I bow deeply to ALL of those individuals who have identified and continue to identify as women. I bow deeply to ALL those people that help to fight for the rights of women everywhere. https://www.internationalwomensday.com/

17.01.2022 After many weeks immersed in teaching & assisting on "Art in Motion" workshops in Melbourne & NZ, I'm thrilled to be settling back into my usual Friday night time slot! I can't wait to see you for another installment of 'Artful Awareness on the Open Floor' as we, once again, share in the riches of creative intelligence on the dance floor! Drop-ins & newcomers welcomed - 7:15 PM - Ivanhoe!

17.01.2022 A temporary pause on weekly classes... Dearest Dancing Tribe... We have an important update regarding our Thursday night Dance in the Hills class in Belgrave & our Friday night Artful Awareness class in Ivanhoe.... After much heartfelt deliberation and extensive research we have decided to put a pause on our precious weekly classes. It would seem that most of us in our dancing community would fair well if exposed to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) but inadvertently, any one of us, could easily become a vehicle for the virus to spread to those that are elderly, immunocompromised or those that are very young. This decision comes as a RADICAL act of LOVE & compassion for those people most at risk, in our wider community. From what we understand with current global trends, being conservative and implementing social distancing now, could potentially help to avert a nation wide crisis. On the upside, know that Sarah and I are 100% committed to swiftly organising an online access point for Dancing at Home. Jo will be making playlists and posting them so that you can keep your precious spirits & bodies moving. We are finding creative ways for us all to still be connected, in order to lessen the potential social isolation in the days (and potentially weeks) ahead. Know that each of you is important to us, as are your loved ones. Together, we will travel this unknown path. We have complete faith that we will continue to find innovative ways to support & care for each other. Please keep in touch with us and with each other. Know that you are not alone, we are all in this together. With all of our tender love and fierce Lioness care, Jo Woods & Sarah Winter 'Dance In The Hills' Coordinators & Co-founders of 'Artful Awareness' --------------------------------------------------------- Resources for those who want to read more: A great article explaining why many organisers and teachers are making an informed choice to pause classes. https://www.danceplace.com//dance-in-the-time-of-corona-/ Information from the Australian Government - good basic facts and resources in an easy to understand format https://www.health.gov.au/healt/novel-coronavirus-2019-ncov

16.01.2022 THIS THURSDAY: DITH is excited to have Kaia Hawkins (Open Floor) coming all the way from New Zealand to share her grass-roots wisdom with us all... Here are a f...ew words from Kaia: "Tena koutou katoa, Ko Kaia Hawkins toku ingoa, Hello, my name is Kaia Hawkins, I am a descendent of the Ngati Kahungunu and Nga Ruahine tribes in Aotearoa, New Zealand. I am an Open Floor International Teacher, an ARTist and a Mama. I weave together all parts of myself when I teach, bringing in aspects of Matauranga Maori, phat bass, big love and all things in-between. I am supported by the wild and the tame. I look forward to bringing the hills tribe some flavours of Aotearoa, creating a soundscape to find your kanikani/dance to and to meet all you remarkable humans using movement as our kia ora. See you on the Dfloor this Thursday night. Ng mihi nui Kaia x"

13.01.2022 After a magical 'May Series', Jo Woods is pleased to announce our 'June Series' begins next Friday, June 5th. Our June Series theme is Courage & Curiosity Only 4 places left... Numbers capped at a max of 20 participants!... Here's a little taster of what to expect "As the famous french painter Matisse once said Creativity takes Courage. It would seem for many of us as we mature, in order to spark new levels of creativity, we need to get back in touch with our childlike curiosity, wonderment & awe. Unfortunately for many of us, we have been taught, over time to steer clear of our creativity and to value logic over all else. It takes a heart full of courage to look at life through a new lens, to ask questions and to question the answers Over the course of our June Series we will embark upon this fascinating journey towards courageous curiosity. We will utilize creative arts practices, mindfulness and verbal inquiries to help us tap into our inner child and into our inner critic. Together we will venture into this unknown landscape and open the doors into the inner world of our imaginations!"
