What is form, in this context? That depends. It can be a stance. A shape the body assumes. An asana from yoga. A simple orientation, such as left/right or front/back. A rhythmic pattern. So many options …

In this playshop, we begin by embodying a variety of forms, so we’ll have several to choose from when the music starts. During the 24-minute playlist, everyone is free to choose a form to begin and then to allow the song’s energy to move us from there.

When we feel curious, we can change to a new form to see how the music comes through now. When the next song — with its new energy — comes along, which form will we choose to play with? The choice is always ours.

As you may have guessed, there is no right or wrong form, nor is there a right or wrong way to respond to a song’s energy. We play with options, mixing and matching, perhaps copying what others on the screen are doing: How will this movement feel in my body? How can I change it to make it mine?

If you enjoy journaling or making art — potent forms of witnessing oneself — consider bringing the items you’ll need. Dress comfortably and bring your water or tea. Ensure safety and privacy in your space. Your only real role is to relax, receive, and allow your unique responses to arise.

When the music ends, whoever wants to is invited to share briefly about their experience.
