Well, you can teach old (sometimes young and middle aged) dogs new tricks. Awoooooo.
We're learning how to use photoshop, have figured out how to process video and put it up on YouTube, and, as you can tell by this email, we've learned how to make more dynamic e-letters.
Check out our new video gallery!
We had a fabulous time performing at SpectorDance and want to extend a grand and glorious thanks to Fran Spector Atkins for sponsoring this event. We especially enjoyed the potluck where we had ample opportunity to connect with other artists.
Join us in this fabulous master class in Shinui led by Christina Tague. Shinui Martial Dance is an evolution and synthesis of dance, movement, martial and spiritual arts. Shinui is a dance form, which naturally is about movement, about self-expression and about the joy of being in ones body but it is also about learning to know oneself and how to be in relationship with a partner and with a group. By using the dance as a conscious exploration, Shinui provides an opportunity to examine ones expression of self and the dynamic which emerges from the meeting of two individuals. It is practice centered on the art of meeting and relationship.
Shinui brings together elements of modern dance, marital arts as well as body-work methods such as Feldenkrais. The influences of these arts upon each other resulted in the softening of the marital techniques, making their applications more creative and open for exploration and gave the dance an organizational intention. Similar to Tai Chi Chuan and Aikido, Shinui Martial dance is an inner practice emphasizing self awareness.

Joanna Nobbe joins SonneBlauma Danscz Theatre for an evening of evocative contemporary dance exchange. Joanna Nobbe, former Santa Barbara resident, has been living in Istanbul for the past year and a half. While returning for a visit she will be sharing with our community works created while living abroad. SonneBlauma will be presenting two works from its repertory, Nadar Sabe en El Agua Fria and Gypsy dreams choreographed by Misa Kelly. Additionally SonneBlauma will present a new work "Le Jardin Bleu" also choreographed by Misa Kelly which was inspired, in part, by the life of Meena (founder of RAWA). In addition to completed works the artists will perform an improvisation.
We know you need to get back to work so we are keeping this letter short and sweet! Best wishes these upcoming months. We'll send reminders about events along the way. As ever and always, if you don't want to receive any SonneBlauma news let us know by hitting the reply button.
P.S.
The best part of a letter. We love y'all! Without your support SonneBlauma dreams would never fly. |
