Rotating topics for Emergent Dance with Soleil Chappelle
Aikido Peace Education Center | 1101 N State St. #200
Tuesdays 7:00 - 8:30 PM
Module 1 - Intelligence - that which cannot be artificial
Through dance improvisation, multi-media sensory experiments, and conversation, we’ll allow our minds to permeate our bodies and the space between us and all beings.
Inspired by the more-than-human world—animals, plants, fungi &&—we’ll reclaim our ways of thinking from mechanical, industrial, and algorithmic structures. We’ll draw new lines for the boundaries of our minds and redefine intelligence.
Some experience in any type of dance improvisation is recommended.
Not a heady person? Looking for an outlet for existential concerns? Feel stuck in your head? Confused about what this is but want structures for movement improvisation? This space welcomes you.
Groundswells and foundDANCE are offered in partnership with Soleil Chappelle AKA Body Swells. When you register, your receipt will come from Body Swells Craniosacral & Massage.
