Our bones are:Wisdom lightness architecture; aancestral dust of the universe is in our bones. They guide our movement, ground our weight and our partner’s weight through into the Earth as we dance. There is a stillness in the bones and an opportunities in each joint to articulate.

Flesh

Our flesh holds and carries our life our blood our emotion . Muscles turn thought into action or in improvisation action into flow. Our muscles are what allows us to express life, be in action, gentle or wild,

Sometimes we don’t really say yes to our muscles, we might avoid a effort we might judge ourselves for not moving beautifully, here we will give some time to return to the child or athlete state where we enjoy our motion in action.

This class will introduce these two inspirations for movement and will offer inner stillness as well as free movement to take into our dance.

Flesh and bone - the jam as a body

The jam as a communal organism as a dream as a spectrum reflection of all people in the room. What if a jam is not created by singular choices by each Dancer or dancing couple our group? What is if there is an opportunity in each jam to bring out a conscious and unconscious in our bodies in our souls, our channeling and Appliance of our bodies? What if we turn around the concept that we choose to go in we choose to dance with this person or that person and instead enter the room as a spectrum of light sound experience where we have our part and are we willing to take it. Are we willing to let go of the ego? Are we willing to join the possibilities of This temporary act of the group in a jam? What is the bone? What is the support of a jam? And what is the flesh what is the living, posting body of the jam that we are part of? I will be introducing Waze to join a jam in this waybut really we will enter a communal experiment to shift or blast open our expectations athletic can be.
