Biodanza
「PH0」是一個包含運動、舞蹈和體驗式練習的系統，旨在支持人類發展、情感整合以及與生活的聯結。其名稱源自希臘語「bios」（生命）和「danza」（舞蹈），意為「生命的舞蹈」。
Biodanza 通過定期課程、工作坊和長期培訓項目在全球範圍內推廣。它強調情感、活力、創造力、性慾和超越性是人類體驗的核心維度。
起源
Biodanza 由智利心理學家、人類學家、詩人兼畫家羅蘭多·托羅·阿拉內達（Rolando Toro Araneda，1924–2010）於 20 世紀 60 年代創立。托羅在與精神病患者、大學生和社區團體合作的過程中，借鑑了心理學、生物學、人類學和教育學的研究成果，發展出了 Biodanza。
該體系的演變是為了應對社會分裂和情感壓抑，它提出運動、音樂和人際交往是恢復健康和意義的重要力量。
核心原則
Biodanza 建立在以下幾個關鍵原則之上：
- 「Vivencia」（生活體驗）——一種強烈的、活在當下的體驗，融合了感覺、情感和動作。
- 「Affectivity」（情感性）——與他人建立聯繫、情感紐帶和共情的能力。
- 「Integration」（整合）——協調身體、情感、本能和身份認同。
- 「Human connection」（人際聯結）——培養信任、歸屬感和關係臨在感。
Rather than focusing on technique or performance, Biodanza prioritises experience, feeling, and authentic expression.
Practice
A typical Biodanza session consists of a sequence of guided movement exercises performed to carefully selected music. Exercises alternate between:
- activation and relaxation,
- individual and group movement,
- expressive and integrative phases.
There is no choreography to memorise. Movements are simple, natural, and accessible, supporting participants in reconnecting with their innate capacity for movement and expression.
Verbal guidance is minimal; emphasis is placed on music, movement, and direct experience.
Lines of vivencia
Biodanza organises its exercises around five fundamental Lines of Vivencia:
- Vitality — joy, energy, and the instinct for life.
- Sexuality — pleasure, desire, and sensual presence.
- Creativity — expression, innovation, and imagination.
- Affectivity — love, empathy, and emotional bonding.
- Transcendence — connection beyond the individual self.
These lines represent innate human potentials and guide both class design and long-term development.
Music and movement
Music plays a central role in Biodanza. Selections are chosen for their emotional resonance, rhythmic clarity, and capacity to evoke specific states of being. Movement is seen as a biological and emotional response to music rather than an aesthetic act.
Teacher training
Biodanza is taught by facilitators who complete structured, multi-year Biodanza Teacher Training programmes. These programmes are offered through officially recognised Biodanza schools and follow a common international curriculum, while allowing for regional and cultural adaptation.
Global community
Biodanza is practiced in many countries across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Oceania. International organisations coordinate training standards, research, and collaboration among schools and facilitators, supporting a global community rooted in shared principles and practice.
Relationship to conscious dance
Biodanza is considered one of the foundational practices within the broader conscious dance and movement field. It differs from improvisation-based practices by using a structured sequence of exercises, while sharing common ground in embodiment, emotional awareness, and non-verbal exploration.
