About event
Access the Multiverse of Body and Life in Community on the Dance Floor
DanceLab is a space to elicit your truly authentic groove. This is a creative movement forum where your lived experience will be the choreography of body, mind, and self in communion with space and others.
When we engage in somatic process, stories and patterns emerge for discovery, release, and expansion. Your experiential dance as a complex, sensory organism is worthy of attention.
DanceLab features a Physio-script to stimulate our choices for movement and mindful embodiment. The script offers a brief section of verbal facilitation; a scientific idea rooted in physiology that can support the body in creativity. Most of each lab will be guided by music, space, and bodies in motion with ample opportunity to express your signature moves in a dancing practice.
All genres of somatic practice, previous dance experience, and intentions for dancing are welcomed with reverence and joy.

● You are welcome to join by sitting, stillness, or presence
What to bring:
