Circling us in for a brief post-performance connection — ‘cause wow, we got to experience some profound presence together, y’all!! (Anyone else been floating-dancing through these last few days — and also hopefully resting?).

An invitation: Can you respond in the comments section below with anything that comes up for you from these questions?

Since Our Bodies, Our StoriesDreaming Health Justice:

1. What are you carrying with you now? (a knowing, question, sensation, desire, something you want more of…)

2. Is there an image, sound, phrase, movement, surprise or other moment still rumbling around inside you?

3. Is there something an audience member shared that you want to hold close or offer to others?

4. What have you been noticing in yourself or your surroundings lately?

Tips: First responses are great — let intuition speak :). What happened is too big to describe or hold in any one response or perspective. Just whatever is bubbling up now. Could be an “I could talk about…” headline, a short phrase or word. You can do one or multiple, in whatever way brings you joy and ease. This is our space!

Blessings on blessings for all you sparked, and will continue to, co-creators. As we each imagine what’s next. As we ask our “What if…?”s. As we speak our dreams into the held space…
