Movement as Medicine
July 26-30
This session is intended for people who love movement, culture, and nature and are not full time rigorous movement practitioners. Cultural protocols, cultural exchange, land dance training, restorative practices and a community engagement session to activate reciprocity.
People of all backgrounds, ages, and without extensive dance training are invited for a 3 day series (held every other day) to renew body, mind, spirit, emotions, individual and collective imagination through the healing power of movement. Sessions will include multi-disciplinary expressions such as land dance, somatic healing practices, cultural exchange, re-story-ing of movement, with independent study exercises for the day off.
Together we will experience and recommit to the multi dimensional benefits of a daily movement practice, movement for making community, movement for Movement Building (for specific social change initiatives), and for reconnection for life forms beyond human.
(42 choreographers, 1 dance) video directed by Mitchell Rose.

Content Creation
August 2-6
This series welcomes people with performing arts background or strong interest, with pre-requisite of participation in full MOVEMENT AS MEDICINE series.
We will move into cultural creative content-making for camera, in response to surroundings and conditions. Creative expression will be as collective response to a theme, rooted in cultural/ecological understandings emerging from Movement as Medicine, with design specifically for DIY camera. We merge embodied ways of knowing with media technology experimentation for a vision of the future. The session will culminate in a recorded or live streamed outcome.
Mobile-site immersive response to renewable energy. Filmed by Michael Lorenzo Lopez at Academy for Love of Learning, with Dancing Earth guest artists
