Weaving Waters Dancing Earth in Artistic Residency at WildFlower Playhouse
Dancing Earth brings eco somatic movement work to Wildflower Playhouse in a week-long artistic residency exploring themes of land, water, and celestial navigation. Daily workshops led by Founding Artistic Director Rulan Tangen and a workshop by Māori guest artist Jade Whaanga from Aotearoa/New Zealand welcome all levels, ages, and backgrounds.
The residency features extensive open community invitations with daily workshops including :
EARTH BODY movements,
Flowering Way morning meditations,
Earth Warrior fitness sessions.
A selection of local community artists will be invited for participate in a multi-disciplinary creation process , participating in two evening performances that weave solos and group works into rituals of embodied story and energy activations ( contact Info@DancingEarth.org ASAP if you are interested to be in Taos for this creative process , a few spots are stil available !)
The culminating performances are accompanied by Erin Currier's dance-inspired painting exhibition and post-show artist dialogues. Dancing Earth's 20-year movement language creates "experimental yet elemental dances" that transform ancient wisdom into futuristic invocations through "bone and blood memory in motion."
