Why we will be dancing and moving at Faslane on May 28th

DANCE & MOVEMENT PROTEST

If you like to dance, or take part in some other sort of movement practice or enjoy making music, then come and join the Dance and Movement part of Faslane365 on Monday 28th May. This will be a dance camp with a difference! Already there will be movement sessions outside the base facilitated by teachers of 5 Rhythms dance, capoeira and soma. All and any other dance or movement practices are welcome. Or if you are musician then come and play for us.
Many of us dance and move because we are able to realise a sense of freedom that is not always present in daily life. We dance and move to enrich our lives, let’s use our bodies and our movement as an affirmation of life against a weapons system that is so anti-life.
The government intends to replace Trident at a cost of billions and billions of pounds. Money that could be spent on making the world a better place. Come and bring you body, flesh, bones and beating heart. Bring your willingness to move, and your means of making music if you have any. Together we will move our hopes, our fears, and our willingness to witness what is being done in our names.

The dance and movement group will be gathering close to Faslane on May 27th, to meet, dance and move together, and plan. On May 28th we will be outside the base. Our protest will be organised so that those who wish to risk arrest by blockading the base can whilst those who wish to demonstrate in dance, movement and song within the law will be able to do so safely.
We will be organising in a consensual way. No experience of dance, movement or direct action is necessary.

The dance and movement bloc is an experiment in protesting differently. Protest by doing what we love to do. Protest with our bodies, hearts and minds. It is an experiment in dancing and moving differently: how to keep our ground and centre at the fences and gates of crazy technology, how to find our joy in life at the gates of terror and despair.
Let’s dance for a saner world where billions are no longer spent on weapons that threaten the existence of life on earth.
