Live @ BODYWERK // 1 Hour Somatic Dance Practice

A live recording of the 1st ever LUMIFEST, a consicous day festival held on the Summer Solstice Saturday 21st June. A day full of holistic workshops and therapeutic sessions culminated in an epic dance to afro-inspired music from around the world. This improvised set was accompanied by live percussion and incorporated requests from the wonderful dancers who joined us for the day. 

Luminous hold monthly dances in sober spaces for all to enjoy and unlock the therapeutic benefits of moving freely.

Lumifest Solstice Dance 21.06.25

This set, performed on the summer solstice, was inspired by the sun's journey in the sky - from dawn, through rising, to high noon, to sunset, to dusk, and total darkness. The ecstatic dance wave perfectly mimics this process, so I wanted to bring it to life through music.
