InnerMotion – Vodnik – Vid

Ples z odprtimi ali zaprtimi očmi lahko močno vpliva na vašo izkušnjo, zaznavanje in povezavo s telesom, glasbo in okoljem, ne glede na to, ali ste v klubu, na festivalu, v gneči ali sami. Vsak pristop ima svoje edinstvene prednosti in slabosti.

Ples z odprtimi očmi

Prednosti

• Prostorsko zavedanje: Če imate odprte oči, se zavedate okolice, kar vam pomaga varno krmariti po gneči in se izogniti trkom z drugimi plesalci.
• Vizualna povezava: Očesni stik in vizualni namigi lahko znatno izboljšajo interakcijo z drugimi plesalci, ustvarijo skupno izkušnjo in včasih vodijo do improviziranih, sinhroniziranih gibov.
• Navdihujoči vizualni elementi: Zlasti v klubih in na festivalih vizualni elementi, kot so osvetlitev, postavitve odra in gibanje izvajalcev, prispevajo k celotni čutni izkušnji in lahko navdihnejo vaše plesne gibe.

Slabosti

• Motnje: Vizualni dražljaji so lahko včasih preobremenjujoči in odvračajo vašo pozornost od telesnih občutkov in glasbe.
• Samozavest: Če vidite druge ljudi, ki vas opazujejo, se lahko počutite negotovo, kar lahko zavira vaše naravno gibanje in izražanje.

Ples z zaprtimi očmi

Prednosti

• Enhanced Internal Focus: Closing your eyes can help you turn inward, heightening your other senses and deepening your connection to the body and music.
• Emotional Depth: Without visual distractions, you might find it easier to tap into your emotions and express them more freely through dance.
• Creativity and Imagination: With your eyes closed, your imagination can take over, leading to more creative and personal dance expressions as you're less influenced by external stimuli.

Cons

• Reduced Spatial Awareness: Not being able to see your surroundings can make it difficult to navigate space, especially in crowded settings, increasing the risk of bumping into others or tripping over obstacles.
• Isolation: You might miss out on non-verbal communication and shared moments with other dancers, potentially feeling isolated from the group experience.

Balancing the Two Approaches

Choosing whether to keep your eyes open or closed while dancing can depend on several factors, including your comfort level, the density of the crowd, and your familiarity with the environment. Here are some exercises to balance both approaches:

• Switch Between: Start with your eyes open to get a sense of the space and people around you. Once comfortable, try closing your eyes briefly to focus inwardly.
• Partially Close Eyes: Softening your gaze or lowering your eyelids can be a middle ground, allowing some visual input without full distraction.
• Set Boundaries: If dancing with eyes closed, choose a spot that feels less congested or use barriers like back walls to avoid wandering too far.

Whether you choose to dance with your eyes open or closed, both approaches offer unique ways to connect with the music and express yourself. Consider the environment, your safety, and how you feel most connected to the dance when deciding. Experimenting with both can enhance your dance experience, allowing you to enjoy the best of both worlds.
