NOTE

Reconnecting Through Movement and Embodiment

The tumultuous times characterized by multifaceted crises demand a reconnection to our physical selves. Embracing the full-bodied human experience, rather than viewing oneself merely as a mind within a skull, is essential. This involves exploring movement as a human animal—understanding the physical ways we engage with the world, while also challenging habitual motions. The process of movement can transform culture through embodying diverse forms of physical expression, such as dance, which serves as a medium to connect with our surroundings. Engaging physically with the environment allows for a deeper connection to place, involving interaction with nature, objects, and other beings. This practice, rooted in improvisational movement, nurtures a vibrant relationship with the terrain and the rhythms of the natural world. It highlights the importance of community and collaboration in exploring these embodied experiences, fostering unity with the environment and each other.
