About the event

Dancing the Self: Bridging Movement and Life
Experience the legacy of the Halprin work through an immersion in movement, dance, drawing, and poetry.

How does your art reflect your life?

How can the real stuff of life be the foundation for our dances? What can the power of artmaking offer us for healing, growth, and transformation? How can the body and artmaking bring us into closer connection with our deepest stories, knowing, and longings?

Through movement, dance, voice, creative writing, drawing, ritual and performance, we will explore, express, and discover deeper aspects of who we are. This workshop follows the Life/Art Process, developed by Anna and Daria Halprin, to bridge our moving, sensing, expressive bodies with our lived experiences, emotions, and stories.

Anna Halprin, Daria Halprin, and The Tamalpa Institute have been pioneering and innovative forces in the fields of expressive arts, dance, somatics, education, and therapy. Based in California, their work has been a fertile laboratory of cross disciplinary creative exploration that brought dance off of the stage and into the streets and nature; brought healing out of the therapy office and into art, performance, and ritual; brought a pedestrian aesthetic of functional movement into performance that reflects the art of the every day.

Taught by Natan Daskal, on core faculty at the Tamalpa Institute, and one of Anna Halprin’s last mentees, this will be a special opportunity to experience the legacy of the Halprin work in person on the East Coast.
