Dancing Mother Reals
Movements from My Now
SUN LOVE ORBIT
“The sun touching your skin is an act of love, every time.”
Mother Mother is inspired by the sun’s long labors of creating and sharing its energy with the Earth. She imagines the many movements of matter and solar particles that collaborate for the phenomenon that is heat and light. She interprets the sun’s actions as a devotion of love and sustenance for us all. This joy and gratitude sparks movement explorations that experiment with circles, continuity, reaching, expansion, fusion, and spinning.
Soundtrack: El Búho Tecolotin
Take the Journey
Mother Mother surrenders to the long labor of softening the tightness in her lower back. The tightness appeared after an intense dance practice days before where she didn’t stretch afterwards. At first she is not excited about how long it’s taking for her body to feel more open. But then spirit reminds her about the nature of this whole movement discovery.
