José Neves and Irene Franco give beautiful and vivid demonstration of one of the many dances and themes that they led in their Eros vivencia at the IBF European Biodanza Congress - Holland. July 7th - 10th 2016, Eindhoven: Rapture in Parting and Returning. Out of our affection for our lover, a passion bursts, a desire is triggered - suddenly we’re alive… in this moment we embody a savage splendour. It’s a rapture; it makes us wild; we crave our lover, yet we have fights, but we make up; we have to part but are compelled to return and reunite in our passion - I want to be with you, then I can no longer be with you – so I go away, but I miss you, so I come back. The invitation was to dance this very intense rapture of passion – to look at each other and not to look, so we can look more intensely, more deeply. In Biodanza we use dance to explore all of life’s facets, such as Vitality, Creativity, Affection, Transcendence and Sensuality, and in this sublime vivencia (dance session) we explored ‘Eros’ - passionate love, romantic love, intimate love - all facilitated by perfectly chosen evocative music. To be able to dive in and explore the depths of such aspects with others, without having to be explicitly ‘sexual’, is one of the great gifts of Biodanza.
