BELLINGHAM
Untethered - 
Falling (up) with somatic awareness, technique, and improvisation
A day of dance with Soleil Chappelle and 
Carmen Serber
Head, eyes, throat, heart, diaphragm, solar plexus, pelvis, limbs and feet. We dance the relationship to gravity, allowing all those parts of us to fall separately, together and sequentially. Nuanced organization of tone, incremental fall, gigantic fall. Falling in love. Falling as a continuous source of creating motion –  a felt sense of body falling through space as dancing. Untethered. One fall becomes the seed of the next. Our senses turned inward and outward. We move at the speed of trust falling together as a community of dancers.
Saturday, October 4th, 1pm-5:30pm
