EMBODYMENT PERFORMANCES(click here)
SOMA Fest Performances present Kinesthetically charged contemporary and improvisational work
from National and Local Artists. This year's theme looks at detailed articulation, finesse, and attention
to inner/outer awareness. Can you imagine being TRULY aware of self and the environment in any
life circumstance? Performances are geared toward Conscious Embodiment as the artist's inquiry
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 with this visceral performance approach.

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
