Dear Friends and Dance Lovers,
Rituals of Being is the Culmination of the work Breanna Rogers and I have been doing with a group of stellar community dancers in the last year. We've been exploring how ritual is a process of concentrating intention and creating potent forms that engage with the cycles and mysterious of our lives.

Join us for a special one night performance at Natural History Institute, April 27th, 7:30. Seating is limited and will sell out, so get your ticket soon! Online ticket sales only, no tickets available at the door, link above.

Hi all,
Sorry that this is such short notice.
I’m continuing the series of Online Mindful Movement Classes in November 2021 which I'm calling "A Sense of Balance"
Mondays and Fridays throughout November 8, 12, 15, 19, 22, 26, 29.
10:30am Flagstaff time - 12:30 East Coast - 5:30pm London time.

A Sense of Balance.
I am looking at this in both a physical and emotional, psychological way. How do we find balance in our lives, neither doing too much nor too little, how do we avoid overwhelm? How do we find balance in the way we stack up on our bones over our feet? Balance is not a static thing which is accomplished through rigidity and holding. Just think of how a tight rope walker constantly adjusts and moves in order to maintain balance. We will explore movements in standing, sitting and lying on the floor or if necessary a firm bed, which will help us to become more aware of and improve our sense of balance.
The classes will be cumulative and build on each other but they can also be done individually. I will record the classes for you to do later if you cannot make the class times.
PAYMENT
$20 per class or $110 for all 7 classes in November.
In US please pay via Paypal Friends and Family to [email protected]
In UK please email me for my UK bank details to pay in £s.
Please don’t let lack of funds stop you from coming to class if you need to pay less please email me or just come to class.

Human Nature Dance Theatre Presents: The Uncertainty Principle 10/09/2021

Human Nature Dance Theatre Presents: The Uncertainty Principle Human Nature Dance Theatre with guest artists present The Uncertainty Principle.

10/03/2021

I’m starting 2 new series of online Mindful Movement classes based on Feldenkrais Awareness through Movement
Mondays and Fridays throughout October.
9:30am Flagstaff time - 5:30pm London time.

Mondays classes will be focused on A Sense of Balance.
I am looking at this in both a physical and emotional, psychological way. How do we find balance in our lives, neither doing too much nor too little, how do we avoid overwhelm? How do we find balance in the way we stack up on our bones over our feet? Balance is not a static thing which is accomplished through rigidity and holding. Just think of how a tight rope walker constantly adjusts and moves in order to maintain balance. We will explore movements in standing, sitting and lying on the floor or if necessary a firm bed, which will help us to become more aware of and improve our sense of balance.

Friday Classes - which I am calling “Seeing Clearly”.
The focus will be on the use of our eyes in movement. It seems that we are almost all addicted to screens these days and that takes its toll on our vision, movement, posture/acture, balance and how we use our head/neck/spine.
Classes can be adapted to be done in a chair but will mostly be in standing, sitting and on the floor or firm bed.

The classes will be cumulative and build on each other but they can also be done individually. I will record the classes for you to do later if you cannot make the class times.

PAYMENT
$20 per class or $70 for all Friday Classes, $70 for all Mondays Classes or $120 for all the Classes.
In US please pay via Paypal Friends and Family to [email protected]
In UK please email me for my UK bank details to pay in £s.

Please don’t let lack of funds stop you from coming to class if you need to pay less please email me or just come to class.

Hi all,
Come and see the culminating performance of The Uncertainty Principle our experiment in Land Art Performance

Over the course of 2020 and 2021 we have created a series of events that have built toward this concluding show, a series of live performance art events exploring the nature of time and place. What can we learn from the way scientists understand the universe and atomic structure that can be applied to our present lives? This performance involves film, photography, live dance theatre performance and music. In 2020, we found ourselves wondering how live performance could be done safely and shed light on our current experiences.

With Paul Moore and Jayne Lee from Human Nature Dance Theatre and Guest Artists, Amanda Kapp, Frederica Hall, Rodrigo de Toledo, Mark Stevens, Pash Galbavy, Bryn Blaiddymor and Sheree Newbould. Lighting by Eric Souders. Thanks to Chris Lughinbuhl and the Dark Skies Coalition.

HNDT is generously supported by Creative Flagstaff & the City of Flagstaff's BBB Funds.
