How do we foster and sustain embodied wellness and
creativity within our environment, while connecting with
our internal kinesthetic experience?  In its fifth year,
this pioneering event enhances somatic awareness in
practice, performance and daily life.  

Fostering physical and perceptual transformation,
individuals from all walks of life learn to bring
themselves more fully to holistic health, self discovery,
internal spaciousness, sensory awareness, liquid
strength and refined physical articulation.  We'll
explore how somatic experiencing awakens our inner
world for a more profound connection with the
performing environment and the world at large,

injury, rejuvenate the system, reveal anti-aging benefits and help us reconnect with self.  Key for
dancers, movers, actors, writers, musicians, performers, somatic practitioners and all those interested in
developing a more profound capacity for self healing and expression.

inner/outer awareness.  Can you imagine being TRULY aware of self and the environment in any takes
on the multiple challenges of skill, aesthetics, presence in the artist's internal world, and connection to
other performers, audience members, and the world at large!  The audience plays a participatory role
