EDB OPEN AIR | SUN 22 AUG | ISZABEL

Dancing in nature: on the earth, in the sun, with the elements!

High grade dance music; high grade amplified music; and the best DJs and facilitators in the scene.

EDB unites the worlds of Ecstatic Dance, diverse dance music and sound system culture. Using the practice of Ecstatic Dance we create held spaces for you to express, expand and experience rejuvenation through movement, dance and sound.

The experience is a modern day ritual where the communion of people, movement and sound serve as mediums for transformation, liberation and soul invigorating celebration. Our community gatherings are alcohol-free and are suitable for all ages, all abilities and all people. Everyone is welcome. 

Come as you are. Dance as you please. Express your uniqueness.

LINEUP

SUN 22 AUG

ISZABEL (Ibiza) | Mixcloud | Instagram | iszabel.com

We're super excited to welcome Iszabel all the way over from Ibiza for her EDB debut. Iszabel is an Ecstatic Dance DJ, Movement Medicine Teacher and Sound Therapist. She started dancing consciously over a decade ago. Desperate to fill the gap left by her clubbing days and eager to reconnect with her roots and explore a more awake and aware way of being, she stepped into a conscious dance space and immediately felt at home. 

She mixes shamanic tribal beats rooted in the Elements with underground club vibes. She combines technical skills with physical and emotional healing, fostering a sense of freedom and deepening the relationship with self, others and the world around us. 

Iszabel has trained at The School of Movement Medicine with Ya’Acov and Susannah Darling Khan, at The British Academy of Sound Therapy with Lyz Cooper and brings all her experience of life into her work.

HEALTH, SAFETY & WELLBEING

As an organised outdoor physical activity, our events are fully compliant with the latest government regulations and we have full permission from Bristol City Council and Avon & Somerset Police to run our Ecstatic Dance sessions on The Downs.

We ask all participants to take responsibility for themselves; and to be sensitive, considerate and respectful of others. If you are experiencing any symptoms of covid-19 (check here: http://nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/symptoms) then please stay at home, rest and be well.

ECSTATIC DANCE GUIDELINES

Ecstatic Dance is self-expression through free-form dance and movement. It’s an embodiment practice which brings awareness to and connects together heart, mind, body and soul; authentically connecting with your whole self and authentically connecting with others.

Our events are family friendly. All people and all abilities are welcome. 

We use the following guidelines to create a safe and held space for you to express the full spectrum of yourself, to express your uniqueness and to experience rejuvenation through movement, dance and sound:

- be here: no shoes
- be free: dance how you want / no judgement
- be present: no phones / cameras
- be clear: no intoxicants
- be embodied: no talking
- be consensual: respect boundaries / be aware of your own personal space and that of others
