Everday Dancing
physical poetry
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 the movement images in sequence. We practice letting go of our expectations of how the dance should look and relax into our body's intelligence.
Today we concentrated on bones and looseness.
Yesterday it was breathing and phrasing.
The ability to sustain your attention through a transition is the antidote to doubt.
A dance is body grammar.
Every movement counts.
Your everyday dance is a conversation between you and time and place.
"Susan taught me to reveal my being through the vehicle of moving my body. Becoming aware of the possibilities for expression made me capable of expansion far beyond words, like music."
"She skillfully and lovingly provides the bones around which the unique dances of ordinary people can effortlessly take form and become extraordinary."
"Everyday Dancing brings me into the flow experience of being totally alive and creative in the moment, then the next moment, and the next."
