Moving Seasonally

Moving Seasonally

Rediscover playful and natural movement in the context of nature and the season. Explore the blurred lines between expression and utility when interacting with the environment or another human(s).

Ideas around a solo, group and locomotive (moving through you environment) practice - Delving into movement choices made from a utilitarian perspective and movement born out of creative impulses and the muddied water that does not care for attempts to define a difference. Whether moving in the trees and through the woods, with a partner, or with your own body in space, awareness of ourselves, each other and the change and qualities of the season will be our guide and our muse.
