The online resource for Gurdjieff and his Movements.

Our aim with this website is to create a survey, as complete and objectively as possible, of what is going on in the Gurdjieff 'world', focussing on his Movements.

The dances called 'Movements' are essential in G.I. Gurdjieff´s teaching, further consisting of orally transmitted ideas, books and musical works.
Rather than the individual´s subjective personality these Movements express objective, mathematical laws governing a possible psychological evolution and, basically, life as a whole as well.

Practising Movements can generate a form of energy difficult to find elsewhere.

Videos

 

Movements on video are very hard to find. When Gurdjieff performed the Movements in public the performances were often free of admission. He was very interessted in people seeing his art. Today not many groups are willing to perform in public.
If you know videos of Movements and you are willing to share it -
let us know.

 

Meetings with remarkable men

Film directed by Peter Brook

This film decribes Gurdjieff's life according to his book 'Meetings with remarkable men' and contains a few very well performed movements.

Gurdjieff's Sacred Dances & Sufi Dances
(look under 'special viedos')

Gurdjieff's famed Sacred Dances come alive in this powerful and deeply involving performance, filmed live in Buddha Hall at Osho Commune International in Poona, India. These unique dances are a meditative experience for dancers and audience alike, invoking centeredness, while being one with the dance.

The performances are not really authentic Gurdjieff Movements, but the video can give one an idea aobut them.

"The film shows one of early-day performances of Movements at the Osho Commune. More recently, at the Osho Commune, Movements are performed in a style that could be regarded as more authentic."

 

Freedom

A feature on dutch TV. A mix of different people talking about there idea of freedom. One of them is Wim van Dullemen who talks about Gurdjieff and demonstrates some Movements. You can see original scenes with Gurdjieff and some of his pupils.
