The Conscious Dancer: Exploring the intersection of physical actualization, well-being, and creativity

My session explores finding "the dance" inside all movement, in a way that gives access to uncovering obstacles to physical, mental, emotional, and creative connectedness that is a symptom of our separation from each other and the natural world. Looking through the lens of the body as an ecosystem, we will explore seemingly simple movement patterns and coordinations deeply, at the level of sensation. This practice will be supplemented with imagery, anatomical animation, and discussion, as participants will be exposed to a sampling of the tools that I use as a grounding and awakening practice. While I often use these tools with dancers, this is by no means a session that is limited to those with dance experience, and will have a wide scope of application.
