Dancing with Pain

Falling is a necessary component of walking.

As someone who's been living with Fibromyalgia and Endometriosis for over a decade, I'm constantly searching for ways to alleviate the pain through a holistic approach. My personal preference, when coping with my own pain, is (as much as possible) to avoid fast solutions that take care of symptoms and to tap into the core of the felt sense and trace its movement through the body's topography. The form of Contact Improvisation emerged in the late 6os and early 70s in New York. The form developed from the tension between dance as something that is seen and something that is felt. In CI we mostly work without mirrors and focus on the felt sense. When working with pain I offer the possibility of gently tapping into the spaces in our bodies that can experience freedom of movement and lack of tension. From these sensations, we seek to move towards pleasure and effortlessness. I offer individual and group sessions in person and online, at home, in the studio, and outdoors.
