DANCE: Embodied Resonance

“To see we must forget the name of the thing we are looking at.”
_Claude Monet

In the depths of our dance we often resonate with a profound sense of discovery, unlocking new dimensions of perception through our movements. At the moment of insight it feels like our entire body releases, revealing previously hidden perspectives and possibilities. The essence of these magical moments lies in the physical movements – a silent dialogue between dance and dancer – and witnessed on a level beyond words.

Dance unshackles the stories we carry in our memories and imagination. The personal narrative of self in our minds begins to melt away as we drop into our bodies. The dancing body serves as a conduit for creating new meaning that leads to transformation – a process of reinvention or recalibration of the dancer’s essence. Transcending all verbal communication we resonate with the energies that dance us towards a deeper understanding of self.

In the dance we are immersed fully in the present moment where the convergence of physical motion and emotional resonance blur the boundaries of our Ego allowing a profound connection to self that is transcendent. Within this dynamic interplay, dance becomes the canvas on which every facet of our being, physical, emotional, and spiritual convergence into the creative act of pure being.

_Christos Daskalakos
