"Every turn is a step closer to the true self.” – Ziya Azazi
After inspiring participants in 38 countries, Dervish in Progress (DIP) returns to Malta, where its first workshop and performance last July planted a seed of awareness and transformation. This December, that seed blossoms into a renewed encounter—inviting us to explore harmony between body, mind, and emotion through conscious turning.
About Dervish in Progress
Dervish in Progress is a contemporary whirling practice founded by Ziya Azazi, a Vienna-based choreographer, performer, and researcher. Rooted in the ancient dervish tradition yet expressed through modern science, psychology, and art, DIP represents a contemporary path to holistic awareness—a global spirituality beyond dogma, culture, or religion. Through rhythmic movement and focused awareness, DIP activates the body’s natural intelligence and neuroplasticity. The practice enhances emotional balance, cognitive clarity, and physical vitality. Each turn becomes an act of self-observation—an inquiry into consciousness where motion, perception, and stillness merge.
Workshop Experience
Across three days, participants will engage in guided exercises integrating breath, alignment, and rotation. The process cultivates focus, balance, and vitality, turning movement into meditation and presence into energy. DIP invites everyone—artists, thinkers, seekers, and movers—to explore transformation through the body. It is both a scientific study of human potential and a philosophical journey toward coherence, where thought, feeling, and action align in harmony.
Workshop Focus
• Body – Mind – Emotion: Integration through motion and awareness.
• Learn – Implement – Become: From understanding to embodiment.
• Turning as a Universal Bridge: Expanding from self to shared humanity.
