“This is probably the most beautiful thing I have done for years... I feel connected with a strange and endless profundity. The variety, the goodwill and the desire for development I see here is unbelievable..." Continued

“Duruşu düzeltmek en büyük amacımız. Doğru duruşu yakaladığınızda, ki bu uzun süreli bir amaçtır, her şeye karşı doğru durmaya başladığınızı, kendi çizginizi yakaladığınızı, tutarlılığınızı oluşturduğunuzu farkedersiniz. Bunun sağladığı güven önünüzde hiçbir engel bırakmaz. Sırt, güç ve hafızanın doğru kullanımını temsil eder. Güçsüz bir sırt,  insanı yok edecek  sürece sizi sokar. Somut görüntüsü, kireçlenme, ağrılar ve kaymalar; duygu dünyasında ise güvensizliktir. Bu, başka birçok olumsuzluğun da kaynağıdır.”

The East and the West are two wings of our combination; and its depth is Anatolia. The land that brought up countless philosophers such as Diagon and Aristotales; the land having matured with grief; the land that is peerless with its delicate, endless shores and life diversity.

Our arm extending towards East carries the whole mystery and wisdom of existence in its palm. In the gardens reached, it watches silently the world’s crazy haste. It knows to be contented with its being. Everything it values; the stars, the trees, the sunset, the historical works of art, is free -priceless.

Our arm towards West watches the big and small universes through the hands of technology. It sees conceived images on paper. And watches the reflections of reality in its projection…It learns to arrange, transmit and renew them, discovering the methods and speed.

While, our depth –profundity gives us the secret of clarity; the gifts of open scopes, generosity and sharing. Every time we turn to it, it would point at each other. “Share”, it says, “Love and trust in love”. Love, its connective power, becomes an answer to every question, like a big secret being told.

Unlike modern life dream of, the human is far more than being only an individual. His bonds connect him with his history, land, other people and his nature. If you are to make a real change in human development, you must first see and discover this unity.

Meditative Dance focus on the relationship between sequential and intuitive halves of our brain. The right brain is directed towards the Whole; it is inspired by the Nature and overjoyed where creative energy and feeling intensity exist. Left brain, on the other hand, symbolizes the chained intelligence; thinking sequentially from part to the whole. It values short-term human development and Matter. 

Right brain breeds the intuitive mind. Magic and miracles are the products of it. It is our other-half involving the sense of meaning and unity as well as the harmony of feelings and the world of energy. It’s the base of our every thought regarding spirituality…

The human intelligence, rising in the modern age against Nature and emotion, has developed a sort of consciousness, which values the individual and sublimates human mind as opposed to Nature. Having declining the intuitive mind and coveting the Matter for improvement, the human being has the psyche of part with its sequential mentality.

Meditative dance takes its roots and philosophy from the dance of Sufis. Existential unity (vahdet-i vücud) found its place in human intellect and was defined by Sufism long before the scientific discovery of energies and harmony. Long before genetics found that every living-being used the same genetic code, they told each of us about dispersed energy and the peerless harmony that unity holds. With dynamic meditation, Sufis laid the grounds for energy concentration, by combining the consciousness Yogis found in stability with the movement of Earth. They were feeling deep inside that the energy is dispersed and that we are all a part of each other and the Nature.

All the great thoughts leave their traces on Body. The actual peculiarity of East and West and the way they complete each other can only be understood by examining the relation between the Body and Mind. There are points of blast in the education of Body and Mind. While intuitive mind exploded with Yoga, the intelligence exploded through Classical Ballet following the Enlightenment. As we comprehend the contribution of these in our existence experience and individual development, we can unite the parts that form us.

With Eastern techniques we advance our research on “human as a being”, obtaining concentration, elasticity and harmony. Experiential methods being developed for centuries by observing the Nature, before all, help “the human as a being” discover his power. This way do we realize the Nature’s interlace passing through us. We realize that the glitters of stars settle in our eyes and that we have, in fact, this knowledge recorded far deep inside.

The modern science, appreciating the one-way development of human brain, has dragged us into a brand-new life. We discovered that human, far from existing as “a being”, is an intellect that can give a meaning to this existence. The point of blast in human intelligence, Classical Ballet, the product of Enlightenment Age, exalted human against Nature. It started out with the thought that human can dominate his nature and perfectly train his body. Acquainting with Classical Ballet you may understand the determination of modern thought. Esthetics and perfection are defined in Classical ballet forms.

Science, despite its material approach and denial of intuitive mind, has finally reached at the truth. The harmonic existence has been confirmed by the most exciting branches of chaos philosophy, the fractal geometry. In fact, fractals, Nature’s symbols of perfection, have always been alive in the imaginary world of human. The “ore” of Greeks, the “essence” of Sufis and the energy, all point out the same concept. An integrated approach carries us inside a universe created with feeling and survived with intelligence, which claims us as a part of it.

Meditative dance, having born in our city that brings cultures and religions together, is a journey of thought and experience between the two continents.
