Open Floor International logo

Open Floor adalah praktik gerakan dinamis dan penuh kesadaran yang mengintegrasikan tari, kesadaran tubuh, kecerdasan emosional, dan eksplorasi relasional. Berakar dari puluhan tahun tradisi tari sadar dan dikembangkan oleh kolektif guru internasional, Open Floor mengajak peserta untuk bergerak sebagai sumber daya untuk penyembuhan, ketahanan, kreativitas, dan koneksi.

Gambaran Umum

Open Floor menggunakan gerakan sebagai alat fisik dan psikologis. Dalam kelas atau lokakarya Open Floor, peserta didorong untuk mengeksplorasi berbagai gerakan yang berlandaskan kesadaran saat ini. Sesi sering kali memadukan penyelidikan gerakan terpandu dengan tarian bebas, mengundang tubuh, hati, pikiran, dan jiwa ke dalam dialog aktif.

Praktik ini mengambil inspirasi dari psikologi somatik, tradisi mindfulness, fasilitasi berbasis trauma, dan metode tari sadar lainnya seperti 5Ritme dan Soul Motion. Praktik ini menekankan perwujudan bukan hanya sebagai konsep, tetapi sebagai pengalaman hidup.

Kurikulum Inti

Kurikulum Open Floor disusun berdasarkan empat dimensi utama:

• Perwujudan Fisik: Kesadaran dan eksplorasi tubuh melalui gerakan
• Perwujudan Emosional: Pengenalan, ekspresi, dan integrasi perasaan melalui tari
• Kesadaran Penuh Perhatian: Memupuk kehadiran, rasa ingin tahu, dan sikap tanpa menghakimi
• Kecerdasan Relasional: Berinteraksi dengan orang lain melalui gerakan, batasan, dan empati

Within these domains, students engage with tools such as:

• Movement Resources (e.g., Grounding, Centering, Articulation)
• Relational Dynamics (e.g., One-to-One, Group, Witnessing)
• The Four Continuums (e.g., Fluidity & Rigidity, Presence & Absence)

• Thematic movement inquiries

• Verbal guidance and silence

Classes vary in length and style, from weekly drop-ins to multi-day workshops and in-depth training modules.
