What happens when you combine the transformative imagery of Tangible Minds with the opportunity to move your body any way it wants? Let's find out!

Hello friends,

I've got a great class coming up in June, combining the transformative imagery of Tangible Minds with improvisational dance practice. I'm calling it Soul Juice. Here's what you can expect. Details are at the bottom.

In each class, you'll choose to explore one feeling state you'd like to express in movement. I'll lead you through the Tangible Minds mapping practice with that feeling. As a result, your experience of the feeling will be more vivid and tangible. You'll use that image and your heightened access to the feeling to inspire authentic movement.

Then, we'll transform the original feeling, again through the Tangible Minds practice. You'll move again, inspired by the new feeling state. Finally, you'll explore the movement space between the two feelings. You'll find a freedom in being able to move at will between darkness and light.

This is a great opportunity to embody the Tangible Minds practice. It is also an opportunity for dancers to add more soul to their dance, whether free-form ecstatic-type dancing or choreographed or improvisational performance.

If you're wondering about my dance experience, I've been dancing since 1987, performed in Philadelphia with Group Motion and Ausdruckstanz, and have been studying improvisation in Seattle since 1994. I'm really excited to blend these two passions in this new class.

Soul Juice

Monday evenings in June (2-30)
6:00-7:30pm
Velocity Dance Center, Studio 3
915 E Pine St, 3rd floor

The class is part of Dance Art Group's "Movement Arts Research" series, and I feel honored and excited to be making my debut as a teacher in the Seattle dance community. This is a class I've been mulling over for years, and it's finally going to happen thanks to my friends John Dixon and Lila Hurwitz who encouraged me to just do it.
