5Ritmova su način da utjelovimo i prihvatimo svoju suštinu na najjednostavniji fizički način.
Podučavaju nas da slušamo, vjerujemo i slijedimo mudrost tijela; vratimo se instinktivnim i intuitivnim dijelovima sebe koji su nam, sada više nego ikad, potrebni da budemo prisutni u vlastitom životu.
Plesni put koji je osmislila Gabrielle Roth, američka “urbana šamanica”, filozofkinja i umjetnica, je za sve ljude, bez obzira na njihovo predznanje, tjelesnu spremu, dob, spol, ili bilo koja druga određenja. Sve što nam treba je volja da se pokrenemo i nastavimo kretati s onim kakvi jesmo u trenutku.
5Ritmova su tečni, stakato, kaos, lirski i duboka tišina , a u tom slijedu zajedno tvore plesnu cjelinu koja se zove Val. Ritmovi vode plesača kroz 5 različitih načina kretanja u kojima nema zadane koreografije ili koraka, već sami istražujemo kreativnost i nepredvidljivost tijela. Svaki ritam donosi učenja za sebe i o sebi, on je prolaz do raznih aspekata sebe, aspekata koji su nam manje ili više (ne)poznati. Dana nam je prilika da produbimo ono što znamo i istražimo nove mogućnosti odnosa prema sebi, drugima i zajednici (svijetu).
Magija koja se budi kad se svi naši aspekti, tijelo, srce, um i duh usklađeno kreću je izraz urođenog umijeća da svu svoju povijest, priče i patnju pretvorimo u umjetnost koja se kreće te ih na taj način transformiramo i vratimo natrag životu, u protok.
“... ekstaza je mjesto, a tamo možemo stići s dobrim uputama. Ključ ulaska u ovo mjesto je jedan radikalni oblik predaje, ritualno raspadanje. Meni se to dogodilo na nebrojenim plesnim podijima, kad je muzika stvarno 'pumpala' a ja sam prestala mariti o tome što itko misli o mom plesu, frizuri, mozgu ili guzici. U plesu sam navigirala između svojih bezbroj mentalnih 'tripova' te našla put natrag do zemlje po kojoj su moja dva stopala toptala. Kroz ples otkrila sam da, pokreneš li psihu, ona se sama iscjeljuje.”

RHYTHMS
5Rhythms are a way to embody and embrace our essence in the most physical way. They teach us to listen, trust and follow the wisdom of the body; to come back to the instinctual and intuitive parts of ourselves, parts which now more then ever are necessary for us to be present in our own life.
The dance path envisioned by Gabrielle Roth, an American “urban shaman”, philosopher and artist, is for everyone, no matter their experience, fitness, age, gender or any other definition. All we need is the will to make the first step and to keep moving with however we are in the moment.
The 5Rhythms are flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical and stillness, and in that sequence they make the Wave. The rhythms take the dancer through 5 different ways of moving in which there are no steps or choreography to follow. We are left to ourselves to explore the creativity and unpredictability of the body. Each rhythm brings teachings in itself and about ourselves, it is a gateway to different aspects of self, more or less familiar to us. We are given a chance to deepen what we know and explore new possiblities in relating to ourselves, the others and the community.
Magic that appears when all our aspects, body, heart, mind and spirit move is an expression of an innate craft to turn all our history, all our stories and suffering into moving art, and to return them to the flow of life.
“ … ecstasy is a place and that we can get there with a good set of directions. The key to entering this place is some radical form of surrender, a ritual shattering. For me this has taken place on countless dancefloors, when the music was really pumping and I stopped caring about what anybody else thought of my dance, my hairdo, my brain or my butt. Through dancing I navigated the badlands of endless headtrips and found my way back to the stomping ground of my own two feet. Through dancing I discovered that when you put the pshyche in motion, it heals itself.”
