The dance can be therapeutic, but it is not therapy.
Dance MOVES things in you and can bring things up.
Please take care of Your Self and your boundaries, sit out if you need
to, say “no” if you need to, leave if you need to, or come and sit next
to JB if you feel to.
You need only bring yourself, warm layers and water.
The only *substances* you’ll need will be water, and the dance.
About me?
I’ve been dancing 5R since 1997 in Brighton, London, Glastonbury, Lewes,
Devon, Bath, Bristol, Stroud, Oxford, New York, Frankfurt and between.
I’m Artistic Director of award-winning Something Underground Theatre Co,
and have both performed and led various aspects of physical theatre,
movement and theatre, in a wide variety of settings since 2004.
I was previously a member of Physical Theatre/Fooling theatre companies
The “Festival of Fools” and “Theatre of Now” and I’ve worked with all
ages, from 5 yr olds to the wizened elders among us.
I’ve performed dance, physical theatre and theatre on stage and in small scale film projects.
I’m a trained group-work facilitator and mediator, trained in the
process of Community Building as described in M. Scott Peck’s book The
Different Drum, and was formerly a facilitator with Community Building
in Britain, the UK’s cousin organisation to Scott Peck’s FCE (Foundation
for Community Encouragement) in the USA.
I’ve spent time with/trained with a variety of teachers, including Rusty
Myers (lead facilitator with FCE), Martin Prechtel, M. Scott Peck,
Robert Bly, Gary Zukav, the CBIB facilitation team, Jonathan Kay, a wide
variety of 5R, and other movement and performance teachers, in the UK
and beyond.
