Momentum

We did it! A couple of Contact Dancers, my family and a professional carpet cleaner helped me to get this quirky and beautiful space in an excellent state. Thank you Wonder, Hannah and Beth! The red theater seats are neatly bolted in, repaired AND dusted. Thanks to Rajendra's outstanding spacial understanding we piled up 40 of those colossuses in the tiniest storage room! I can't even remember how many dirty buckets of water I carried out of the space. The spirits have lifted, new air can breathe in and decades of old dust and stories have left the premises. We laid ground to a sprout – A sprout that will hopefully inspire more movers, artists and somatic practitioners in Bellingham to join the dojo on N State Street. We will celebrate and kick off this new era with our seasonal Fall JAM featuring Nita Little.

We explore the diaphragm as a structural focus. The diaphragm is the biggest horizontal diaphragm in our body and forms a threshold between the upper and the lower body. This jellyfish or mushroom like muscle moves us in many many ways and plays a vital role in how we find more ease in expressing ourselves. We explore its relationship to breathing, to the spine and the heart. We play and experience how the diaphragm can support a grounded feeling in the air and as base in a contact dance. Of course all that will be embedded in ritual, wild and free improvisational scores and integration. This time I have invited Rajendra Serber as a guest teacher. Yes, he is my partner and he is great! His arty website is old and outdated but you can find him on youtube or on vimeo .
