Little kin

 There are so many of these little ones at the Anne Kolb Nature Center! They may be partners in our dance, but I think they are more nervous than we are. 

Leave a comment after the show of how many you saw!

Light and Shadows

 The light that nature provides gives affects that cannot be replicated on stage! Here is a clip of Joanna in our final rehearsal today, enjoying both sunshine and shadows!

Be sure to reserve your tickets to join us on Thursday!

Important updates for KINesphere re: COVID-19.

Because the emphasis in this performance is on connection, community, and kinship, 

masks are expected.

We have also reduced the number of tickets available for each performance to only 10,

to ensure social distancing. Please make sure to reserve your tickets to ensure your spot!

We're less than 10 days away from KINesphere!

 It's almost here! Do you have your tickets yet? You can reserve on Eventbrite. 

Here's a pic of Jo and Yas in rehearsal this morning before the rain. 

Speaking of, what will we do if it rains? Well, we have secured the Mangrove Hall at the Anne Kolb Nature Center, so this show will be happening, in all 3 time slots, rain or shine! So plan to join us!

Map for the Performance

 Our performance will take place along the Lake Observation Trail at the Anne Kolb Nature Center. Since this trail is entirely a boardwalk, it is accessible for wheelchairs, strollers, and other accessibility helps. 

Join us at the Start, under the Observation Tower at 12pm, 2pm, or 4pm on Thursday, Dec. 30. 

Dancer 1- Ricky Morisseau

A Meditation for this Busy Time

 The holiday season should be full of joy, love, gratitude, etc. But it is also often accompanied by stress, worry, and grief. Please enjoy these 15secs of peace, recorded at the Anne Kolb Nature Center. 

Try one of these embodied practices as you watch and listen: 

• Breathe deeply in all 3 dimensions- lengthen and shorten vertically, widen and narrow horizontally, bulge and hollow sagittally. 
• Breathe into a tight muscle and try to release it with your breath. 
• Ground your feet on the floor. Feel your own roots. 
• Reach into the sky. What ideas are floating around you? 
• Wiggle and flow. Come into yourself.

South Florida in the Winter

 Is truly beautiful. I remember when I moved here, almost 10 years ago. I was baking Christmas cookies with my windows open. 

Over the past decade, though, climate change has definitely made changes. This Wednesday, I went back to Anne Kolb Nature Center to turn in some paperwork, and to play with movement in our beautiful show location. It was in the 80s! A little too warm for December! After just 30 minutes of dancing, I was sweaty. It was a reminder of we really live in relationship with nature- our choices affect our environment. 

If you are coming to our performance, make you sure you check the weather. December in South Florida can get chilly. Or, it may be like this week, hot and steamy. Regardless of temperature, bring sunscreen and bug spray! Get your tickets now on Eventbrite!

Another sneak peak at Joanna

 We are hard at work, rehearsing for our site-inspired performance on December 30! Here is Joanna in rehearsal.
