Also, I would like y …

Bliss Dance is a moving meditation done to passionate world music in a supportive circle of community. The village style dances are fairly simple and accessible, and taught anew every time. When the body is engaged in these basic, rhythmic motions, and simultaneously resonating to powerful music, mind, body and spirit become integrated. We set our intentions, focus awareness on the candle flame in the center, and lean into the comforting sensation of being held in the circle. The dances start of …

This is a Meetup group for instrumental musicians in the Boston area who are interested in reading chamber music together. Whether you play regularly or are looking to pick up your instrument again for fun, all that’s required is a willingness to sight-read new music and meet fellow musicians. I’m looking for suggestions on where to hold our Meetups. A piano would be great, though not necessary. Please message me if you have ideas.

This group is about getting together to learn and practice Irish Session Tunes, and to listen to Irish Music. I find learning tunes at sessions to be impossible, and while it is enjoyable to learn and play music at home, it would be fun to get together with others to play occasionally. I started this group to see if there are others like me. To start, we are meeting once a month to play tunes at a fairly slow tempo. Because the goal is to learn tunes and to practice playing with others I'm gue …

In a Playback Theatre meetup, group members briefly share important moments from their lives (sometimes on a theme). Other members then "play back" the emotional essence of the story they just heard using movement, music, metaphor, dialogue... Together we often laugh, cry, get new insights about our lives, and feel heard and connected. As "actors" we also learn how to be more free and expressive and how to listen deeply and accurately. All are welcome, whether you're an experienced actor or impr …

Contra dance is a kind of social dance with live music where a caller teaches the figures.  You don't need to come with a partner, and while there is a short lesson before each of our dances it's optional.  Most people learn contra dancing by doing it. It looks like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beOFeIIk4KY You should wear comfortable clothes that you can move easily in.  High heels don't work well.  We'll have water but if you'd like to save cups bringing a water bottle is good.

Joy Connection Freedom to be yourself Playfulness New Meaning Unselfconsciousness Insight People come to Deep Dance Light Spirit unsure of what to expect. "Do I need to know how to dance? Is it just a playlist of music that each person dances to? What kind of dancing, what kind of music?" The answers are: No, you don't need to know how to dance at all.  You don't even need to be mobile for that matter. A member came who couldn't dance and she sat and swayed and played the drum. And the g …

What I will be teaching you, you already know. All of us have a body in which we experience and interact with life. But have you ever thought about how our body is really just the house for our soul? Inside us reside the images and narratives of who we are- everything that has ever happened to us. The idea behind my original creation, Fusion-Improvisation, is that if we can engage and refine the vessel we call body, there is no limit to how we can reveal our souls. When we are skilled with our b …

Hi, like many of you, I am home because of the lockdown alert put out by the governor. I am praying they find the second suspect and life can resume. When that happens, which it will, very soon....there should be a celebration. The citizens of Boston have shown the country just how united we are after Monday's bombings. I am heartbroken over the tragedy this has caused so many people and their families. Instead of cowering or letting this level of evil affect us, let us gather together to celebr …
