A few years ago I had the privilege of meeting and collaborating with musician David Wilcox at the Boulder Conference on World Affairs.  He does astounding healing work improvising songs for people based on the stories they tell about their lives.  He inspired me to work with dance similarly:  One person tells a story and then I and/or others move the experience of hearing the story.  Movement is a way of knowing and processing in-formation.  The mover need not intentionally try to tell the story, or even any story, yet what comes through is often significant to everyone involved.  Our stories are our own, and they are also communal.  This feels especially true in our current shared circumstances.

Tomorrow at BraveSpace online (12-1:15pm MDT online) I will offer to dance your story, or you may choose to dance someone else’s.  We’ll all have time to warm up and move within our own stories, and nobody will be put on the spot.
