As spring arrives, we tune in to how movement is shifting and emerging through our bodies. Guided by somatic awareness, we practice Movement Ritual to feel the ground, connect with breath, and find supportive pathways in our bodies to transition from one movement to the other. Through dance explorations, we awaken movement impulses and play with shapes that are emerging. Drawing and writing enrich our dance experience, nourishing the creative energy inherent in all of us.

Movement Ritual is a structured sequence of movements devised by Anna Halprin that helps relax the mind, increase range of motion, flexibility, strength, and serves as a foundation for creative movement explorations. No dance experience required. Please create a comfortable space to move and drawing and writing materials on hand.
