Welcome to Movement of the Earth Body :

THE FLOWERING WAY!

Sunday, Dec. 1st

8-9:15am PT . 9-10:15am MT . 10-11:15am CT . 11-12:15pm ET

Dancing Earth is honored to host The Flowering Way, a series of four (4) workshops during the fall/winter in the northern hemisphere and spring/summer in the southern hemisphere. These workshops are part of Artistic Director Rulan Tangen’s exploration of her emergent eco-somatic movement work, which has recently included invitations to the Mediterranean and Mexico for performances, artist residencies, and immersive dance process co-leadership.

A multidisciplinary, multi-sensory, multidimensional, mysterious, and magical movement process of 'mixed-icism' will center on the wisdom of the body, cultivating seeds of dreams into embodied blossoming. Together, we will explore the connections between the inner dreamscape, the outer landscape, and all the relationships in between.

Everyone is invited, including BIPOC and allies, movers, shakers, dreamers, and creators. No prior dance experience is necessary—just bring your full self, curiosity, and a friend!

ABOUT DANCING EARTH

DANCING EARTH CREATIONS dynamically activates our mission, to create contemporary dance and related arts through global indigenous and intercultural relationships centered in ecological and cultural diversity for creativity, health, and wellness.

“We gather as individual artists to create experimental yet elemental dances that reflect our rich cultural heritage as contemporary global peoples. We strive to embody the unique essences of cultural perspectives by creation and renewal of artistic and cultural movement rituals. Ancient and futuristic, our dances are an elemental language of bone and blood memory in motion.” - Founding Director, Rulan Tangen
