The Alchemy of Authenticity
Whole Series

A Spring SoulDance Series


“Authentic” is a word that’s thrown around a lot these days, so much so that it can easily become performative. But what if we could reclaim it, in the way only the true wisdom of our body, our soma, really can?  What if we let ourselves get back down to the basics– this breath, this stretch, this impulse towards motion, this funk that overtakes the body and makes us MOVE?  What might it do for our nervous systems, and for the world, if we get to just BE who we are?  Join us to explore all the many ways we might be our authentic selves, in sacred dancing community.  Join us to become more human, more awake and alive, the dancing way!  

7 Wednesdays, starting March 24th 

March 25th; April 1, 8, 15 (BREAK– No Class April 22), 29th ; May 6 & 13th 

6:30-8 pm 

Hope Chapel, First Unitarian Church STL (5007 Waterman Blvd.) 

 

Each week we will dance into a movement of the Evolve Ecstatic Dance Arc: 

Week 1: Enter the you of you 

Week 2: Explore the multiplicity 

Week 3: Engage what’s most alive 

Week 4: Expand into Life 

Week 5: Evolve the whole

Week 6: Emerge more you 

Week 7: End and enter again 

**********

There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening, that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique.  If you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost.  The world will not have it.  It is not yours to determine how good it is;
nor how it compares with other expressions.  It is your business to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work.  You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you.  Keep the channel open. 

No artist is ever pleased.  There is no satisfaction whatsoever at any time.  There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction; a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others. 

--Martha Graham to Agnes De Mille
