The Somatics were inspired by, and created for, the 22 cards of the Major Arcana - from 0 Fool
to 21 World. A magical tool to utilize to understand and internalize the Tarot, The Somatics can be performed singularly or in sequence. Pull a card, make a shape. Pull a spread, make a dance.
Choreographed and performed by Dores André, a Spanish prima ballerina who is principal dancer for the SF Ballet, these movements
are created to be easily learned and accessible by a diaspora of bodies. Many can be performed
in a chair or modulated to each person’s unique physical abilities. The Somatics are meant to be invoked in solo divination under the moon, bedroom dancing on a weeknight, or mass movement at the club .
As of this printing The Somatics can be found with your membership to The Portal - our DEEP dive into the Depths that includes a 10k+ word guidebook, spells, and embodiments.
