In this episode, Michael J Morris and I conjure up the dancestors for wisdom and body magic.
We discuss
- How necessary joy + pleasure are to “stay with the trouble”
- Re-imagining the indirectness of our survival and primal needs
- The false binary of survival + pleasure
- The body as the altar + container for magic
- Butoh’s approach to the body and dance, lineage and revolution
- Dance as a way to imagine other ways of being in a body
- Being “with” difficulty and toxicity
- Practicing empathetic embodiment and compassion
- Exploring ordinary movement as dance
- Practicing the aspirational
- Authentic movement as a desire-based practice
- Desire + pleasure as emergent and nonlinear
