“As a dancer, I have always been keen to explore its connection with mental wellness. Dance movement therapy often allows you to recognise suppressed emotions you may find difficult tapping into verbally. Movement, in my opinion, helps you know the unknown,” she suggests. In the two-hour-long workshop, Pinto aims to co-create with the participants a safe space which allows them to learn more about themselves, and the possible emotions that unknowingly take charge of the decisions they make in their daily lives.

Art activities will also form part of these sessions

The aim, she says, is not to put emotions in bad or good categories. Instead, she wants them to embrace every emotion, and find a way to regulate and understand the role they play in our lives. “The workshop will be a mix of dancing and other activities that are inspired from the movie,” she explains, adding that it is important to note that this is not a dancing class. Participants won’t be taught how to dance, but instead be guided to move as per their capacity.
