Word Dance - A Sacred Pause

Hello intrepid dancers. Ah humility! I started WordDance just as a feature film I am working on, The Bowmakers is nearing completion. Suddenly, I find myself thrust into obligations and travel that has me out of town A LOT over next 3-4 months.

As such, I have decided to pause WordDance until my life has more spaciousness and predictability (Ha!) to it.

Thank you to the tribe of followers who has been exploring Sacred Movement and text with me each week. I will be back! I think I'll keep this newsletter going for awhile to share potent poems of transformation with you.

Refuse to fall down
If you cannot refuse to fall down
Refuse to stay down.
If you cannot refuse to stay down
Lift your heart to heaven,...
Ask that it be filled.
You may be pushed down
You may be kept from rising
But no one can keep you from
Lifting your heart to heaven
Only you.

A Prayer by Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Dear ones, let’s anoint this earth with dance! - Hafiz

WordDance is a mindful movement practice using music and sacred poetry as a guide. We invite in deep presence using dance as medicine and words as keys to explore one’s True Self.

Each class will be a musical journey from stillness into joy and back to stillness. We will utilize sacred and ecstatic poetry to drop deeper into our hearts and bodies. You will leave the class with a short poem memorized and embodied to carry with you as a reminder to come home always to your own heart.

This is an open and welcoming space for your spirit’s dance. No experience necessary - just an open heart and a desire to move. All welcome!

WORDDANCE IS NOW OPEN TO DROP-INS
Hello all: I am presenting explorative dance and movement classes for dancers, artists, writers, lovers of language and any and all who want to experience a deeper abiding play in their body. We will free the power of words to guide our way to dance into the world.

Thursdays April 13, 20 and 27, 7-8:30pm $15
Madrona Mind and Body – Fort Worden, Port Townsend

Here is a description:
A few fine folks have been asking me about this class. So here is what I'm up to. First of all, it is Dance, a soul motion opportunity to go wherever your body wants to go, guided by music. It is conscious aware play of embodied movement.

The twist is going to be the soft exploration of finding our way to original language. Original body language, the verbal or nonverbal words that can emerge from a body once the head let's go and listens.

So it will involve descending from the dialogue of the mind into stillness and from stillness allowing language to arise free of judgement. We will create original poems without trying to create poems. There will be no trying to find words. Rather, words are going to come and we are going to notice them and welcome them. And silence is a word too. There is no pressure to talk if the words stay silent.

All in all this is for me a deep exploration into what fascinates me about language, poetry and movement all blended together. This will be a discovery...please come and enjoy the ride.

A few fine folks have been asking me about this class. So here is what I'm up to. First of all, it is Dance, a soul motion opportunity to go wherever your body wants to go, guided by music. It is conscious aware play of embodied movement. So musically it may be a lot like a soulful sunday.

The twist is going to be the soft exploration of finding our way to original language. Original body language, the verbal or nonverbal words that can emerge from a body once the head let's go and listens.

So it will involve descending from the dialogue of the mind into stillness and from stillness allowing language to arise free of judgement. We will create original poems without trying to create poems. There will be no trying to find words. Rather, words are going to come and we are going to notice them and welcome them.
