Feel the planet. Express what it stirs in you. What happens when we don’t just talk about the planet, but actually connect to it through both mind and body? Planet Pulse is a special double workshop where environmental science and dance come together for a fresh, creative take on sustainability education.
Planetary Boundaries Fresco X Bollywood Dance Workshop
Part 1: Planetary Boundaries Fresco
In this interactive workshop developed in Europe and facilitated for you by Ichigo Bloom, we’ll explore the 9 Earth systems that keep our planet in balance, and how human activity is reshaping them. Expect deep insights, surprising links, and meaningful conversations about the challenges we face and the solutions we can build together.
Part 2: Bollywood Dance Workshop + Group Choreography
After engaging our minds, we’ll switch gears and engage our bodies! Guest choreographer Sanya Ohri, visiting from India, will lead a joyful Bollywood dance session for all levels. You’ll learn a short routine set to a song with an environmental theme, and we’ll close by filming a 1-minute group choreography together*.
It’s not about performance or perfection. It’s about turning reflection into expression, and sharing a burst of hope and togetherness. No prior knowledge or dance experience needed. All are welcome.
Whether you’re curious about sustainability, looking for a new way to connect, or just want to move and learn in good company, join us!
*If you do not wish to be in the recorded video, it’s totally fine, we’ll make sure to keep you out of frame!
