magnolia
the most ancient flower on earth. Born into being approximately 95 million years ago in a time before bees where there to taste their sweet nectar. They hold a deep intelligence and strength that has allowed them to exist through the ages. Honoured for centuries by many different cultures the magnolia flower has been imbibed with deep meaning and divine connotation. Blossoming with timeless beauty the magnolia brings forth ancient wisdom to be savoured in our modern world. My intention is to use the Magnolia flower as a symbol that represents the evolution of our dance form, bridging its ancient origins to our modern world while sustaining it’s timeless beauty and grace.

Healing through movement
Let dance be a from of healing, self inquiry and self development. With long term practice in movement arts we begin to cultivate a deep sense of self awareness that allows us to start to understand not only the physical body, but the energetic anatomy, and the elemental building blocks that create our constitution. Through this knowledge we begin to understand our deep seated tendency’s, patterns, and areas of blocked energy that can lead to acute and chronic disease in the body. Consistent and focused practice creates an environment in which the body is able to cleanse and clear energetic pathways, pushing past our preserved limitations and allowing us to move through our own habitual thought patterns. Existing in a state of Shanta Rasa (peaceful rasa) where the mind is quiet we invite in infinite creative potential. Tapping into the true nature of the self we invite infinite creative potential and experience divine truths that lay beyond the mundane.
