The body language of folk-dance stems from the imitation of different beings in nature, which was the way how our ancestors perceived the world and understood themselves. Despite being confined in a limited space, we can still transcend the physical boundaries and reconnect our body with nature. In this workshop, principal dancers of the Peacock Contemporary Dance Company (PCDC) will, starting from the basics of body usage, guide participants to understand afresh the root quality of dance as body language, the body itself, movement coordination, body control, and why the body moves.
