A quiet, slow-paced, creative practice that anyone can join and enjoy. It is an invitation to come home to your body and to find the ancient, naked mind that might have gotten tucked away inside it.

The body is a landscape, and landscape is a body. With this notion, Eiko offers a simple but richly nuanced movement vocabulary that each participant can adopt to suit his or her own body, time sense and taste. By doing so, people are encouraged to develop a lifelong pleasure in moving their body and seeing and appreciating others’ bodies. The class will further reflect on what is it to be metaphorically naked, what is it to be kind, and how learning movement reveals and alters our relationships with the environment and with other beings.

Emphatically noncompetitive, this workshop is open to all ages and backgrounds. No previous dance or athletic training is necessary.
