 ROOTSSpiderflower is, essentially, a form of earth dance.
Understanding that body is formed of the substance of earth, it works to connect the dancer to the land, the self, community and what is holy unto them - expressing and celebrating that multi-dimensional relationship.
It is a communion concerned with acknowledging and dancing with forces that sustain and give life in a reverent and devotional way. |  IMPROImpro is the basis for Spiderflower's dance and offers a great degree of freedom. It means the dance is your own, it happens as it happens, there are no steps to learn or imposed choreography to follow.
An exciting form of release and discovery, Impro is about being present, in totality, in the now, allowing the dance to unfold from within as the dancer listens to tempo and rhythms of the body.
Specific techniques support an actor / dancer in improvised space to open into their movement. |  THE IMPULSEEvery day, millions of impulses run through our body. As they travel, their interactions create our internal landscape and the communion we hold with the self.
How the body translates this language through speech or action into the world defines who we are, what we do, and day by day, makes the life that is ours.
Impulse work is a fundamental starting point. The body is our instrument, it is vital our system is at peace and can converse fluidly within its own realm. |
