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
For midwinter series of Movement as Medicine, Dancing Earth offer four sessions in both February and March, timed near half moon, full moon, waxing moon, and waning moon.
During these four sessions, we will reach through our individual and collective bodies, exploring dreamscape and landscape, shape and movement that connect us with various life forms impacted by the moon : plants, waters, animals, birds, and humanity - in a myriad of different forms!
With the waning moon near equinox , we experience the balance of light and dark, release to make room for the next season of the Flowering Way
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!
