Self practice Friday session developing ideas for movement phrases... And getting used to videoing myself, watching back, evaluating and reworking stuff. Slow process but so far worth doing. #bodywork #movement #gentlepractice #lines #landscapes
I am quite satisfied with this talk I gave at the launch of the understandingvoices.com website back in September. Copy paste this link to watch/listen https://vimeo.com/368223940 Also there are other great short talks from the same event at https://vimeo.com/hearingthevoice #hearingvoices #understandingvoices #livingwithvoices #moretolife #somuchwedontknow #dreams
Been dancing this weekend with loads of gorgeous people. Every time I do a bigger piece of dance it interferes with every thing else. I end up having to rest a lot because of the intensity of rehearsing. I have to prioritise and put other things on hold because my energy is so low. I get frustrated and grumpy... Yet I don't want to change anything. I don't want to drop the work I do around emotional well-being and I don't want to dance less. So I just try and keep learning how best to do things. And practice shitloads of self-compassion and patience...

Call to dance has organised a Day of Dance in Hebden Bridge on Saturday Nov 9th A wide range of workshops for everyone and an evening performance at the Birchcliffe Centre Book through hbdancef.org.uk #jive #salsa #movement #circledances #contemporary #charleston #biodanza #creativity #fun #body #community #hebdenbridge #dance #performances #calderdale #westyorkshire #dayofdance #dancefestival #todmorden #mytholmroyd
So often we don't know how to have conversations about the deeper and more complex parts of being human. Fear of saying the wrong thing, overstepping boundaries or sounding stupid are just a couple of the things that can keep us from being more curious about each other. And every situation is different and every encounter might require something different from us. So it's easy to give up and just stick with small talk. There is a time for small talk but we only become more confident and comfortable with complicated conversations if we expose ourselves to them. #courage #compassion #curiosity #community
