Composing Emergence
Explore how embodying attention can be the roots from which content is generated and form is refined. Anchor into the questions: “What is this art here to accomplish? What is this piece doing, rather than what is it about? What emergent strategies anchor your creative practice?
Moving Well Together
We seek emergent actions that require more than one … the elegance of collective agreement that works on such a fine scale that negotiation is invisible. Moving well, together, takes us beyond ourselves in ways that empower our deepest inner knowing of belonging. We find our joy. Where there is somatic communication, we are stronger, more playful and far more versatile and creative. Let’s do this!
