ECLECTICA PRESENTS
THE RECLAMATION
4-DAY INTENSIVE, SURF COAST VIC
THURSDAY, 12TH OF JUNE - SUNDAY, 15TH OF JUNE, 2025
THE SURF COAST OF VIC…. WE ARE COMING FOR YOU!
DATES: Thursday 12th of June 2025 - Sunday 15th of June 2025.
The Reclamation is a four-day intensive inquiry into self, exploring the landscapes of somatic awareness, movement, ritual and visionary dance. It is a deep dive into the ethos that is Eclectica and an opportunity to rewild the domesticated aspects of the human psyche. It offers a thread of remembrance to our innate ways of being, through gathering in circle and reclaiming feminine rites of passage.
This intensive is for all levels of dance, you do not require previous experience. This is not a space to seek perfection or technique, this is a space to unravel to the layers of your soul in the safe custodianship of sisterhood.
Together we will midwife one another through great states of metamorphosis, working with the foundations of ceremony, somatic remedy, intentional choreography, and medicinal movement, as allies to mediate transformation.
Throughout the experience, participants will learn a choreographed transmission that is rooted in the concept of reclamation. It will explore coded movement that unearths the aspects of the feminine spirit that have been cast into shadow. On the final day this dance transmission will be filmed as a compelling video project that all participants will have access to.
In essence, this course will work with both ceremony-based rites of passage initiations alongside structured movement - to cultivate a deeper relationship with the body's somatic, emotional, and spiritual intelligence, while using storytelling elements to mediate authenticity, healing and empowerment. Through this passage, the alchemical power of dance is accessed and expressed.
This initiation is for women and womb-holders - it is appropriate and supportive for all levels of dance.

Our ethos is anchored in guiding women to reconnect with the parts of their souls that have often laid dormant their entire lives. The fearless, intuitive, cyclical, unapologetic, primitive, wild, unhinged, erotic layers that are just yearning to be met with, held, felt, and embodied.
WHAT IS VISIONARY DANCE?
Visionary dance is the integration of prayer and intention through movement. It is a bridging of realities and consciousness, portraying a wider vision of awareness, hope, healing and transformation.
It is medicinal movement rooted in the ancient art of storytelling, an experience that is equally compelling for both those participating and witnessing.
It is this foundation that sets Eclectica's dance offerings apart from traditional 'performances' - We don't offer performances, we offer transmissions, rituals of the soul that bridge the spirit and mind.
Through weaving psychedelic visual displays, a diverse fusion of dance genres, and raw embodiment- each transmission is a ceremony from start to finish.
One that is always deeply unforgettable, and deeply received - opening our audience's hearts and minds to experience greater possibility and freedom.
OUR MISSION
Eclectica is an epidemic of women and womb-bodied people reclaiming pleasure and spiritual sovereignty as their birthright.
We are a performing arts company with a passion for weaving together dance with ritual theatre. Our performances are powerful works of art that can best be described as a metamorphic transmission. We tell stories with the intention of taking our audience on a thought-provoking journey that makes them drop deeply into feeling.
We own a Melbourne-based Dance School and run immersions both interstate and overseas, that offer women and womb-bearers the opportunity to discover who they are beyond social conditioning.
Our mission is to fill the gaps in our social construct and create a safe container for women and womb-bodied people to return to their truest nature through modern-day rites of passage.
