ABOUT DANCING EARTH
DANCING EARTH CREATIONS dynamically activates our mission, to create contemporary dance and related arts through global indigenous and intercultural relationships centered in ecological and cultural diversity for creativity, health, and wellness.
“We gather as individual artists to create experimental yet elemental dances that reflect our rich cultural heritage as contemporary global peoples. We strive to embody the unique essences of cultural perspectives by creation and renewal of artistic and cultural movement rituals. Ancient and futuristic, our dances are an elemental language of bone and blood memory in motion.” - Founding Director, Rulan Tangen

ABOUT Movement As Medicine
RESTORING THE SOURCE: MIXED-ICISM IN MOTION
This workshop series are offered as part of Restoring the Source series of seasonal ecological dance practice of Movement as Medicine shared by Dancing Earth’s Founding Artistic Director/Choreographer, Rulan Tangen and offered from a spirit of love and inclusivity. For this online spring series of Mixed-icim in Motion, Dancing Earth offers movement workshops timed near new moon and full moon.
This series of five workshops, in which the Artistic Director explores her emergent movement of MIXED-ICISM as the process for an itinerant body of work . The multi disciplinary, multi sensory, multi dimensional, mysterious and magical will center into the wisdom of the body and will also include writing and drawing . During this series we will experience
Embodiment of patterns of diverse life forms as relationships with beyond human being-ness , with observation ( bio-mimicry) , memory, and empathy
Love as experienced through connection via migration and exchange between human beings
Joy as experienced through compassion for self as fluid , complex, and ever evolving
Liminal space of dreaming and the unknown sources of imagination and intuition
Multi sensory synthesis , bit and pieces to become whole in a living eco system of immersive diversity
We extend this special invite to those who have joined or expressed interest in movement sessions in the past year, to join this month’s movement, with Creatrix and Dreamvisioner Rulan Tangen. We invite your courage, creativity, compassion and care - and welcome you to bring a friend!
