New Classes: While we continue to be challenged to stay grounded and centered during these increasingly turbulent times, starting this week I will be teaching Pilates Mat Classes at Steps on Broadway, Mondays and Fridays, 12 noon–1pm. Whether attending in–person or virtually, you must have a Steps account and register online in advance. Click here to set up an account and visit my faculty page to register for a specific class.
New Piece: I am creating a new piece which will be performed at BAAD! this Spring. As I continue to investigate dis/–embodiment and its causal relationship to both authoritarianism and disregard for the environment, I am conflating and contrasting disparate dance styles. I have not yet decided whether or how I will be using spoken text to convey “the [latest] impact[s] of the highly improbable.”
While we are challenged to stay grounded and centered during these turbulent times, I want to let you know that I have been invited back to teach Pilates Mat Classes at Steps on Broadway, Mondays 12 noon–1pm, on 11/6, 11/13, 11/20, and 11/27. Whether attending in-person or virtually, you must have an account at Steps and register online in advance. Click here for information about setting up an account and registering.
Although my choreography has been investigating the relationship between what I have called dis/-embodiment and authoritarianism and disregard for the environment, I have only recently learned that a field of inquiry called neuropolitics has been in existence for more than two decades! I’m just beginning to explore this research which seems to focus primarily on the brain and continues to change as theories and evidence about the brain — and what is called “mind” and “consciousness” — also continue to change. Interestingly, the scientists are finding in the lab what sages experienced and taught over 2,000 years ago . . . .
