Question 1

What are the genres of music I'm likely to hear?

Accepted Answer

Techno, House, Acid, Ambient, atmospheric sweeps, bass and banging beats. Occasional diversions. Slower and faster, softer and harder. Feel-good light and uplifting, and a few darker. Supporting a range of movement. A good sound system. Playing loud- but not quite as loud or high-spec as a club.

Question 2

Who is the DJ/facilitator?

Accepted Answer

Nathan has years of free dance experience, both as attendee and facilitator- see 'EARTH SKY DANCE' testimonials. Deep reflection, meditation, yoga and philosophy are infused in his approach. His passion for electronic music began over 20 years ago, and he is currently re-embracing his love of DJing.

Question 3

Who's this event for?

Accepted Answer

This event is for you if you like electronic music and want to move. If you are ready and open to being with yourself and others in movement. It's for anyone willing to let loose and explore their own authentic movement pathways- to an amazing electronic music soundtrack.

Question 4

Who's this event not for?

Accepted Answer

It might not be for you if 'all electronic music sounds the same,' and a good solid 4x4 beat doesn't set you in motion! Nor if, for whatever reason, you're not up for a dance exploring your own direct and embodied experience at this time. Or closed to club alternatives.

Question 5

What's the format/schedule?

Accepted Answer

Arrive 7.45pm for room entry 8pm. (Doors close 8.15pm). No opening circle. Begin warming up as you feel to. Perhaps lying down, sensing, grounding. Or stretching, loosening. A gently-guided warm-up follows. Leads into main dance- self&music-led- no words. 9.45pm(ish) closing circle. Leaving at 10pm.

Question 6

Tell me more!

Accepted Answer

OK! No set exercises- just invitational warm-up prompts- words to (hopefully!) help you arrive into your body and into the dance. No prescribed partner work. Just free-movement dance. The music, the space, the journey. The only verbal guidance is in the warm-up, the first part of the session.

Question 7

Where are tickets and further info available?

Accepted Answer

Tickets online in advance via EVENTBRITE (& Skiddle) ONLY.
Book early for best prices. Last-moment General Admission (i.e. full price) cash-only tickets available on the door. You might want to visit WWW.CONSCIOUSTECHNO.COM to listen to mixes, for contact and mailing list sign-up. No social media.

Question 8

What's the lighting and room decor going to be like?

Accepted Answer

No lasers, strobes or neon, nor draping hippy cloth hangs! Not seeking to recreate the club environment, nor project a 'conscious' image (if such a thing can even exist!). A parred-back, no-frills, simple space to dance in. Held within the warm glow of fairy lights around the edge of the room.

Question 9

Are there any general rules I need to know?

Accepted Answer

Last entry 8.15pm.
Dancing barefoot.
Respect self/others/group.
No photos/video/phones.
No talking on the dance-floor.
It's a non-verbal space- let's be with the movement.
Put bags/coats etc. safely to sides of the room.
Wear comfortable clothes, bring water.
No drugs/alcohol. Sober entry only.
18+.

Question 10

No photos, videos, phones at all on the dance floor?

Accepted Answer

That's right. Generally no phones, photos, videos. Organisers/helpers may take photos/videos of DJ for promotional use, but that's it. If participants are in any photo/video, they will be blurred out before any promotional use. The intention is we can express freely and dance without distraction.
