Associative dance & memory mining
Connecting movement with the associative mind.
What is associative dance & memory mining?
This workshop works with body and voice simultaneously to connect movement with the associative mind. Beginning with lighthearted group work to open up playful sensibilities and instinctive receptivity, we wake up our imaginative and associative minds.
Moving through repetitive states releases the pressure of decision making and brings about easeful continuation of movement. Inviting voice and imagination into the equation, we eventually find our way to speaking while we dance—creating a continuous stream of poetry and movement that inform and inspire each other.
Our associative brain exposes the memories stored in our bodies. We feel how past experiences have shaped our physical landscape.
The past is present in the body now.
The mind is the body, then and now.
