“Without music, life would be a mistake”
Friedrich Nietzsche
My most central tool as well as a lifelong passion: MUSIC! I am permanently in awe of all the different styles and instruments and rhythms humans all over the planet keep coming up with, and always have an ear out for that different sound that resonates in a brand new place in my body and might elicit brand new ways of moving.
This is where so much of the magic happens. When we respond to the music in an truly authentic manner, with as little judgment and self-consciousness as possible, we break free from our usual patterns and move in new, non habitual ways that shake up stagnant energy. My own experience, when I started this practice, was that forgotten memories started emerging in the days following a dance session – an indication that some sort of ‘unfreezing’ was taking place.
Research abounds about sound healing and the way different frequencies and vibrations affect the body (I found Jonathan Goldman’s “7 Secrets of Sound Healing” a great starting point), which is why I pick such eclectic music, borrowing pieces from many cultures and their unique instruments. New neuroscience research is starting to show what really happens when we add movement to the equation and how dance, this “art of the body, affects the mind.”
