MamaDances Workshop for Teachers, Florianopolis, Santa Caterina, Brazil.
There is a calling for woman to congregate, share, mobilize, organize, support and motivate each other in creative and unique ways. MamaDances answers this call. Here, instead of filling many pages of writing about my experience in Brazil, I offer images from the experience. I am grateful for the generosity and support from all who made it possible for me to travel for 21 days. While there, I had the additional pleasure of teaching Skinner Releasing Technique, Applications to Performance and Choreography and Contact Improvisation in Curitiba, as well as the week-long Mom and Baby Teachers Workshop. This was the first, of what I envision to be many, teachers workshops to come. The doors are opening to MamaDances around the world and MamaDances shifting focus to support that initiative.
An enormous thank you to Assistant Professor Bianca Scliar, and the support of The Canada Council for the Arts, for helping to realize this dream.
