Turtle Cove 7/15/2019

2210 N. Pacific Street 7-8 pm
Free with admission to Flying Turtle Dance (8-10 pm)
Connecting with what we need, we are able to more fully arrive at who we are, what we have to offer, and what we are ready to receive. This improvisational opportunity will guide us towards engaging with and embodying our changing needs in real time, while being in sensitive consensual relationships with others. Honest and grounded facilitation invites and supports extended connection that allow us to focus into deeper levels of trust and activated awareness. Duets continue for long enough that the heart of their unique medicine can surface and surround. Feelings can flow, presence can enlighten, alignment with intrinsic well-being can become more clear. Appropriate for all levels of ability and disability.
Noam Paco Gaster (event facilitator) has been moving and sounding for approximately 49 years. They have extensively studied intuitive improvisation with Stu Phillips, physical theater with Ruth Zaporah, and dance with a wide variety of teachers, including Karen Nelson and Nancy Stark Smith. They received a dance studies major, researching intersections of disability and performance, and a master’s in occupational therapy at the University of Washington. As the artistic director of Bee Hear Now Productions, they have co-created diverse participatory geographies throughout North and South America. They love co-creating spaces that accentuate access to liberating expression and authentically inclusionary connection. They are especially excited to begin developing a private practice that empowers individuals and groups to heal their relationships with Wilds without & within.
