This workshop is inspired and informed by my recent movement research in Japan in 2025.  We explore more collectivistic and spiritual approaches of relating to the self, body, and other.  We will aim to uncover layers of depth in listening through the skin, the elements, and the life energy in all of us.  The workshop will include solo, partner, and group exercises and dancing. All levels welcome.
