Dancers in landscape 2

Collective Ideas

A core group that network and support each other with a committment to dancing in nature
Towards performance, experiential, workshops, rituals

It is a creative sourcing, that brings resonance to our seperate work as independent makers
It is about trust and generating depth
A sense of community
Witness and attention
Nourishment and ritual
A responsibility of learning about where we are in the environment
Sharing the wonderment of nature
The visceral experience
In nature you can't go so far In - you have to have a dialogue with In and Out
How still one wants to be in nature, a desire to distill movement to stillness

How to record the work
