For the first time at Rumble, we are more than delighted to welcome Christian de Sousa, who'll be leading our Friday welcome dance as an opportunity to land, connect and get into movement.

This session will lead into a special ceremonial dance, welcoming us into the magical field with sweet music and deep journeying.

Creator of the legendary 5Rhythms dance space Sweaty Thursdays in south London, he initiated and led the seminal dancingTao and Earthdreamers projects and was also a Movement Medicine Pathfinder & faculty teacher for many years. He has facilitated international projects, curated micro-festivals and nurtured emergent community systems.

Rick Nodine is trained in multiple disciplines of movement practices, choreography and performance. He is an internationally recognised Contact Improvisation teacher and we are lucky to have him holding weekly classes in London!

​

Rick's offers classes for all levels of CI and will be working on the important foundations of CI techniques and how we can explore this wonderful practice of connecting through our bodies at Rumble!​

We are thrilled to have the one and only @jasonrowe5r returning to Rumble this year - His classes are so special and his heart and spirit carry it all!

Jason's words: - It's a delight to return to Rumble and offer space for the 5Rhythms. It's been my passion, practice and purpose for over 23 years.

I trained with Gabrielle Roth in 2011 and hold accreditation to teach the Waves and Heartbeat maps of the practice, along with being the sole teacher to offer Medicine Dance. I co-lead a thriving and diverse London dancing community and teach in person and online across the UK and internationally.

We can't wait to welcome him!

We're utterly delighted to be welcoming for the first time at Rumble, this multitalented magician who creates sound scapes like we've never experienced before, Alex Forster!

Alex is an audiovisual adventurer and a creative communicator, crafting deep, soulful soundscapes and evocative, heartfelt films.

Alex's unique blend of talents brings a bespoke, immersive experience to every project. His ability to speak several languages and connect with people of diverse backgrounds and cultures has enabled him to contribute to inter-cultural and often socially and environmentally conscious projects around the world. Whether through music or film, Alex's creations serve as a bridge, connecting cultures and ideas in a symphony of sonic and visual harmony.

We feel extremely honoured and delighted to be welcoming Our Echo to Rumble Part 1!

She offers many rich and wonderful ways, both through group work and individual practice, to deepen our understanding and love for ourselves and those around us, supporting us to navigate some of the obstacles and complexities of our delicate and human worlds.

We are deeply blessed to be welcoming for the first time at Rumble, @anahatagrant108, for Part 2 of this special camp!

Grant plays music from the heart, with lots of highs and lots of lows also. He creates a sound journey thats takes people on an emotional roller coaster ride, bringing in lots of the Devine Feminine and the Devine Masculine with plenty of room for release.

Let's move!

We are thrilled to be welcoming back to the Rumble field - Dominik and his incredible creation "Heart Wave"!

This session will be an extended session on the Saturday afternoon of Rumble Part 2.

Bring it on, Dominik!

Moving Connections is an embodiment practice that includes time to connect with ourselves and others, with choice and care. We start our sessions with a series of exercises that evolve through different stages or aspects of connection, enabling us to explore and practice all that we can experience while we connect with other human bodies and souls in different ways.

​

Julia strongly believes anyone and everyone can dance. She loves to inspire and support individuals and groups to move through any obstacles that can arise, trusting that through listening and following the wisdom of our bodies, we have all the tools we need to enjoy the great benefits and opportunities for growth that dancing can bring to us, both as individuals and also in community.

Ruth 'teaches with a subtly that encourages each dancer to listen to what is moving within them. She is passionate to create a space that is safe and transformative' The music and dance are mediums, healers, catalysts, that keep calling us back into movement. Calling us Home to be embodied awareness in living and being with each other.

I have a quote from Herman Melville: "We cannot live for ourselves alone. Our lives are connected by a thousand invisible threads, and along these sympathetic fibres, our action runs as causes and return to us as results" Herman Melville. 

DJ TAORO aka Richard Batts is the co-founder of Ecstatic Dance UK. He will lead an embodied journey including juicy warmup exercises followed by an epic magic carpet ride of the best music, skilfully mixed to take the dancer deep into their bodies.​

Kali creates a safe, sacred container so that we can expand into a deeper capacity for intimacy and authentic connection with life, and follow our bliss.

​

Jane combines over twenty years of training in spiritual and somatic practices with her experience as a psychotherapist to create grounded, heart-centred spaces for you to come home to yourself - to feel human.

Jane's somatic dances weave together a range of practices that reconnect with the body’s natural wisdom.

Beginning lying down, you're invited to settle into deep rest before awakening the body through simple, breath-led movement. As awareness shifts toward sensation, movement becomes more intuitive and easeful - dissolving tension and nourishing both mind and body. Flowing seamlessly into an ecstatic dance, light facilitation supports you to stay present and embodied as you journey through whatever emerges, on your own or with others, before coming back to end in stillness.

We're thrilled to have Jane on the Rumble adventure this year!

Another first for Rumble is to welcome the gorgeous MC Gala who offers and holds heartfelt and wild, wonderful dance journeys inviting us all to move through all aspects of life as it arises.

MC holds regular dances in Stroud, and we are delighted for her to be joining us this year in Chesham..!

MC Gala will be joining us for Rumble Part 1!

We are thrilled to be welcoming the lovely Laura Doehler to our teaching team this year at Rumble. She'll be bringing her passions for contact, in various ways, speeds and styles.

Laura works with Increasing focus on personal and collective agency, our availability to give and receive support to deeply connect, open up and develop a dance where trust furthers a shared imagination.

It is a gentle approach to CI that nevertheless offers technical integrations and integrates embodied consensual practices.

That's right! We are going big for Power Hour once more..

Another Rumble classic part of the programme is the hour of non-stop dance mania after the cabaret on Saturday night, which you literally cannot not dance your way through.. Be ready to Rumble in the most Rumblist way..

One more wonderful announcement for now, and that is we will be joined by the incredible Ben Julian, co-founder of @ci.soma as he'll be sharing some of his Contact Improvisation wisdom with us at Rumble Part 2!

Ben sees CI as a practice that can reveal the embodied relational wisdom from the depths of the earth and time. Informed by gravity, the physic, energetic, sensual, sensuous, psychic, and emotional information travels within the shared movement of our bodies and the intelligence woven throughout can reveal our authenticity and a healing path.

He tries to bring the principles of CI into the approach of facilitation and teaching, forever grateful for the lineage of teachers who founded and continue to enjoy and explore the potential of the practice.

Ben will be joining us for Rumble Part 2!

Yay - Welcome to the team for the first time - Mella Fraye!

Mella is a theatre director, creating work internationally that challenges myth, gender and consent.

"Myth is the lens through which we have been taught to see the world and our place within it. We are at an incredible moment in human history where long held myths are crumbling and we have the opportunity to rewrite the story. This is the passion that drives my work, and I've been leaning into how to move an audience from 'passive witness' to 'agent of their own experience'.

The Mythos of Gender is a ritual inviting us to unravel the stories we inherited about gender and rewrite our own. Through sharing words, moving our bodies, and connecting in presence, we'll explore how these myths shaped us and how we can dissolve what no longer serves us. An opportunity to explore what it truly means to be alive in our particular body.

Mella will be sharing her skills at Rumble Part 2!
