HEALING MOVEMENT
2022-2023

Picture
​After two years of virtual programming and remote dance-making, we are excited to present a year-long series of free dance events called Healing Movement.

This program is split in two parts and will use dance as a mode of healing, helping us to reconnect to what it means to be fully human, recognize and rewire the impacts of trauma, and offer opportunities to be present in our bodies and minds.

Part 1: Free Community Workshops
Monthly workshops beginning September 2022, led by highly qualified facilitators, who are rooted in inclusive & equitable approaches to facilitating embodied movement, somatic care & trauma informed movement/dance.

Part 2: Site Specific Dance Event
A free dance event in May 20 & 21, 2023 at 2:00pm at Wapato Park highlighting the theme of healing movement.

More about Dance Film from Deirdre Towers: (full article here)
“Purely speaking, a dance film is one in which dance and film/video are both integral to a work. This simple definition separates dance films from archival records of stage or site specific dance compositions. The makers of dance films consider the placement and movement of the camera, the lighting, the balance of foreground and background, and the composition within the framing of each shot in the overall choreography. A dance film can take many forms: documentary, dance designed for the camera (cine dance or screen dance), a screen adaptation of a stage work, animation, or kinetic abstraction.
The structure for a dance for the camera, otherwise known as a cine dance or screen dance, may be driven by a kinetic or visual design concept, poetry or narrative, imagery from reality or dreams, traditional or idiosyncratic musical forms. The intention may be to produce what cannot be conceived in a live performance or to stretch and condense a multi-media form.”
