INTENTION Dance Theatre
Our intention is to access the aliveness that is available when
we arrive fresh in each moment in fluid resonance with the
field. This potency is the source of creativity, nourishment
and healing. Through movement improvisation and gesture,
character development is accessed through embodiment,
making way for intriguing movement theatre.

IDT weaves somatic movement into its performance work.
This process helps provide compelling experiences for
audiences, as the artists cultivate open body-mind
conncetions while dancing.

IDT plays with the dynamic principles of physics, revealing
athletic qualities that are not bound by form or technique. They
portray the flexibility of bio-systems that can travel the spectrum
from stillness to vigorous dynamism.

With the spontaneity of Somatic and improvisational techniques,
the artists find access to a multitude of characters and species, as
space/time possibilities. This practice of releasing cultural notions
of a dancer's body and form, stimulates creative possibility.

IDT is the producer of L.A.'s SOMA Fest, an event fostering
Somatic Embodiment in practice, performance and daily life.
The festival offers potent opportunities for dancers, actors and
people from all walks of life, to enhance their innate presence
and movement capacity. Five days of workshops and
performances with leading Somatic Movement Artists from
across the country take place at Santa Monica's 18th Street Arts
Complex, in both Highways Performance Space and the
Continuum Studio. www.somafest.org

thrives, and we play a part in sustaining and evolving our world. Plus, Somatic Dance creates juicy
