Embodying a Christian Heritage | 2-week Movement Retreat
Residency description
The Ephesus region in Selcuk and Sirince, Turkey has many connections biblically and to the Christian faith in general.
The biblical city of Ephesus was a significant location for early Christianity. The apostle Paul spent around three years in Ephesus during his missionary travels, preaching and establishing the church there. In the book of Acts, we read about the impact of Paul’s ministry in Ephesus, where many people turned to faith in Christ.
In the region, there exist both Virgin Mary and Apostle John’s residences, and in Sirince, there remains the village that was once up until the 1920s was home to a Greek Orthodox Christian population. Today, 2 churches still remain in the region as museums.
Embodying a Christian Heritage is a movement retreat themed in the past Christian activity of the Ephesus area guided by butoh dance educator Adam Koan (USA) and contemporary dancer Tiffany McSwaker (France).
All levels, backgrounds, and abilities are welcome to join.
Adam Koan (USA)
Butoh dance performer and educator Adam Koan will guide his new pedagogy known as Theokinesis, a butoh based in the Christian faith and its mysticism.
Theokinesis is a sacred and creative butoh dance theatre. The witness establishes a personal relationship with God, responding through the body. The body and immediate space become the church.
The workshops use the creative tool of butoh dance theatre in order to free the body of everyday constraints so that it can more readily act as a sacred offering.

Tiffany McSwaker (France)
Contemporary dance performer and educator Tiffany McSwaker will guide Transcendental Embodiment (TE), which is a holistic approach to dance focusing on moving meditation, dancing prayers, contemporary dance, and vital energy work.
Tiffany Mc Swaker believes that dance can be a practice of introspection, transformation and transcendence of subjective experiences into a collective journey.
Metaphysical dance, beyond its mode of appearance, can be inspired by something beyond its self-sufficiency, be the tool of a quest for the sacred, and transfigures the consumer of secular art.
