S O U N D B O D Y

S O U N D B O D Y is an embodied movement exploration investigating the relationship between the body, sound, space, and sensation.

Together, we will experiment with how sound moves us and how our bodies respond to vibration, rhythm, space, and one another through the lens of cymatics in the body. Through guided improvisational scores, listening practices, and visualizations, we will tune into the body as a living, sensing ecosystem; first as matter, then as a collection of moving particles, and ultimately as an expression of energy experiencing itself through sensation, in a dance between space, sound, and time.

At its core, this work is an exploration of experiential boundlessness: an invitation to expand our understanding of the body and consciousness beyond the physical, and to recognize ourselves as inseparable from the larger energetic universe in which we, as living beings, move, breathe, and dream.

No prior dance experience is necessary; this is an invitation to explore through sensation, curiosity, and your own unique way of moving.
