Everyday Dancing

physical poetry anywhere anytime

The dance arises from how we play mindfully and aesthetically with spontaneous action. Warm-ups become sketches become compositions. We engineer action in space, feel movement images arise and transform, practice letting go of our expectations of how the dance should look and relax into our body's intelligence.
