Danza Ofrenda : Un Tiempo de Otoño, en la Tierra de los Otomíes
Contemporary Dance Performance Ritual Solo w Rulan Tangen
Join me for a ritual of embodiment, of movement that roots into the present as both ancient and futuristic, a reflection of relationship with a moment of time, and place.
I offer this response to time and place with humbleness, respect and gratitude to the invitation for a 3 week artistic residency as a culminating ritual that is emergent, an evolving work in progress like life, with the intention of cultivating connections through creation and collaboration.
On the first night, the importance of the Mezquite trees was shared with me and I dedicate this dance solo ritual to these tree beings, for their ancestral relationship to human being-ness, as an embodied dream for the future of their beingness in renewed and revitalized relationship .
(thankful to Yolitzma for the wisdom shared )

For your own participation as a witness to this offering, we invite you to bring your dreams for the future, to consider what are we collectively nourishing for our lives and others yet to come, to bring into the space to be activated through embodiment by the artist.
ADDITIONAL OFFERINGS: To experience movement interactively , the morning before the performance Sunday Nov 20, Rulan will offer a live and virtual workshop of restorative movement as medicine , information will be posted soon on www.dancingearth.org/event
Acompáñame en un ritual de encarnación, de movimiento que se enraíza en el presente como algo antiguo y futurista a la vez, un reflejo de la relación con un momento del tiempo, y del lugar.
Ofrezco esta respuesta al tiempo y al lugar con humildad, respeto y gratitud a la invitación para una residencia artística de 3 semanas como un ritual culminante que es emergente, un trabajo en progreso como la vida, con la intención de cultivar conexiones a través de la creación y la colaboración.
En la primera noche, se compartió conmigo la importancia de los árboles de mezquite y dedico este ritual de danza en solitario a estos seres arbóreos, por su relación ancestral con el ser humano, como un sueño encarnado para el futuro de su ser en una relación renovada y revitalizada.
(gracias a Yolitzma por la sabiduría compartida)
Para tu propia participación como testigo de esta ofrenda, te invitamos a traer tus sueños para el futuro, a considerar lo que estamos alimentando colectivamente para nuestras vidas y las de otros por venir, para traer al espacio para ser activado a través de la encarnación por el artista.
OFERTAS ADICIONALES: Para experimentar el movimiento de forma interactiva, la mañana antes de la actuación del domingo 20 de noviembre, Rulan ofrecerá un taller en vivo y virtual de movimiento restaurativo como medicina, la información se publicará pronto en www.dancingearth.org/event

"Vengo a esta tierra con respeto, maravillado por toda la creatividad y la belleza, seguramente enraizadas en la vitalidad de la resiliencia frente al dolor de la colonización, del pueblo otomí que ha cantado y bailado esta tierra desde el principio de los tiempos. Humildemente ofrezco esta danza como un ritual contemporáneo para este momento y lugar, en honor al árbol de Mezquite."
"I come to this land with respect, in wonder of all the creativity and beauty, surely rooted in the vitality of resilience against the pain of colonization, of the Otomi people who have sung and danced this land into being since the beginning of time. I humbly offer this dance as a contemporary ritual for this moment and place, to honor the Mesquite tree ." Rulan Tangen
