dancing for water
documenting an experience
Dance for Earth hosted by @travelingbygroove and @sandiegomadefactory, March theme “Dance for Water” all proceeds donated to San Diego Coastkeeper.
Today we danced for water,
to preserve the pacific coast lines,
with our water bodies,
guided by Picsean musicians,
and the voice of a Piscean1 planet holder.
Did you know that our human bodies are about 70% water?
Did you know that the surface of the planet earth is about 70% water?
our atoms literally come from the stars, the universe and our bodies are built from the same elemental building blocks. mirroring, following, mirroring, folloring, mirroring, transforming.
all is not stagnant.
Enter into movement with the feet receiving the earth, let the earth meet you, lifted by the earth, energy up, defying gravity creating space in joints, long dynamic spine.
then release into the earth, decompose down, descend, give back.
greet the space, explore the perimeter, weave between bodies,
expand limbs.
The pelvis in alignment over the feet,
sway,
small slosh,
I am the rocking liquid in a bucket being held by a child waddling across the wet soil.
— the sway grows, arms lift with momentum,
liquid rising up the edges of the bucket, a pendulum, spilling over the curving lip wetting the earth.
pendulum intensifies,
feet press into earth to rock and jump from left to right,
I am the ocean swell smashing against a cliff face, shattering into droplets towards the infinite sky.
The pouring of bodies,
spring is the season of the eyes2, let the body follow the eyes,
again we pour,
tilt the head as the 10 pound skull, wrapped in skin and hair, protecting cerebral spinal fluid, cerebrum, cerebellum, brainstem, cranial nerves, meninges, eyes, becomes the forefront of movement.
gathered in a clump
begin tipping and pouring to the other side of the room,
in staggered waves of bodies,
5 or 6 at a time,
when we arrive, we turn and witness, clump, and gather,
and again we tip,
pour,
witness.
close the eyes and move slow, allowing contact,
cut the speed in half,
Qi awareness pulses this fluid filled body into movement,
eyes open,
human circle,
eternal softness,
water body.
make a wish for the earth and with the hands press.it.in.
