Runic Dance: Dancing the Runes

Friday February 21, 2025 11:30am - 1:00pm EST

Runes have a long history in Nordic culture, becoming more popular with recent popular tv shows and festivals. In the folktales of Norway, the huldre dance the Runes. The dance of the Runes can embody the message or relationship you have with the Rune. In this workshop, we will take 3 Runes and discover a way to incorporate them into a runic dance.

This workshop will use belly dance concepts from various styles to shape the Runes with your body. I will share my interpretation of each Rune presented based on study and practice. I will also show how to use these dance concepts in a solo and group improv performance.

Runes presented will be: Fehu, Algiz, and Othel.
