Every week I am blown away by the music Paul plays and the space he creates with his style of teaching. The class is magical and a safe space to explore self expression through movement. The 5Rhythms wave never fails to amaze me. – Natasha

“Art is all around us and we are all artists. You may not be Picasso, but there’s a force within you which drives you to create art. The spirit of magic and creativity you bring to everything you do inspires what I call “everyday art”. Life is full of raw material - whether you work at the local bakery or in a corporate office, the level of awareness, attention, and inspiration you bring to your job can transform it to art.” – Gabrielle Roth

Live Waves

Friday 27th September 2024, 6.30-8.30pm, in Hove. In Hove, we are pleased to announce another epic live-music wave, with musician and dancer Bela Emerson improvising her live electric cello alongside 5Rhythms teacher Paul’s rhythms and teachings to create a beautifully organic dance experience. Paul and Bela have been collaborating in Brighton since last year, producing Movement Playspace workshops and Live music 5Rhythms classes which have been very well received by local dancers.

Movement Playspace

Returning to The Dance Space! Join Paul Smith & Bela Emerson for a dynamic exploration of relationships and interactions between live music and embodied movement/dance. Informed by the 5Rhythms map and musical improvisation, this is an invitation to play, drop into your senses, and deepen your dance practice. We will work with silence, with music, with movement and with stillness. The music will be responsive, spacious, and attuned to the movement - expect multilayers of cello, live loops, percussion, electronics, and more.
