I am.

Mocean Dance is back in the studio with Serge Bennathan, getting ready for our spring home season production of CLOSE REACH and the world premiere of Sable Island.

We push through the day and break down the walls of our preconceived pictures. Our stamina increases. The deeper we fall, the stronger we become.


(a collection of insightful words of wisdom gathered from the studi0)

Winter Words
A constant reaction to a situation. Where am I…
Keep the truth of how you move but take out the dancer self.

Finish each accident/event, find the fullness and not just forcefulness.
Follow the sensation.

How can you linger in each moment and arrive in the consequence of each accident?

What ghosts surround you?

A Spring Thaw
Letting go of what you thought it was to allow something else to open up.

The difference between tension and power.

Can you feel the group? Turning problems into an investigation or a question to follow. 

Open your windows and allow the light in.

Grounding in the legs - released to the earth and the upper body flies, available for full openness. This is the tension; the contrast of the two is the beauty within the conflict.

I am here, the artifacts beneath me; the whispers of past cries are carried through the wind.

Do not move through space, the space moves through you.
