This site is to motivate and encourage people of all ages to keep the mind, body and spirit active and creative through all kinds of movement and exercise. Dance, Create, Learn, Live & Enjoy a movement experience of self discovery with me!
I am an artist and educator. I have experience working with individuals of all ages and abilities. My mission is to serve through the arts and build connections amongst people and students of different ages and also those like me who have the desire to continue in a movement practice beyond their 40's. My movement practice has been created around Anna Halprin's idea that movement creates change and transform's behavior. It offers the power to motivate a desire for exploration starting with the self. My goal is to empower movers/dancers of all ages in the practice to tell their stories, and to share their voices through physical explorations. I have witnessed the benefits of the movement exploration practice which includes several processes of investigation such as internal dialogues, self portrait and the Helix-effect improvisation exercises created by 'The Bolt Movement.' The exercises incorporated through the explorations for movement discovery have influenced the ability to empower confidence and creativity in these mature bodies who sometimes feel isolated, noncreative and forgotten. Sharing ideas and stories through movement, and using the body as the primary source for the articulation of internal dialogues through bodily expression have demonstrated the success of this practice as research. I am dedicated to empower and inspire dancers/movers who face the graces of aging through the discoveries of new movement generated by their own vessel-body which contains the beauty of wisdom. I will pursue this vision of sharing ideas and findings with older individuals who have the drive to continue dancing and have the desire to engage, inspire, transform and generate connections with others to keep on the exploration and excavation of the "self alive."
