Bliss is a sensation that arises in the body through breath and dance and connection.
Anatomy, in this context, involves exploring the internal and external structures of the body through movement and playing with the physical relationships between body parts.
As dancers, we have countless opportunities to joyfully explore these structures, creating new pathways in the body, mind, and heart, and arriving at an ecstatic state of being.
Pleasure prompts the brain to seek new experiences and stimulation, fostering curiosity, creativity, and the desire to explore the world.
It is a powerful force of our creative nature, reorganizing us physically and inspiring us to dance.
Using various techniques we will explore our bodies and dancing relationships, discovering the joy of movement and being moved by life itself.
This week will activate new levels of bodily intelligence as you lean into joy and pleasure. We will approach pleasure through all forms of creativity, moving beyond its narrow social interpretation related to sexuality. Pleasure is a force of our creative nature, physically reorganizing us and making us dance.
