What the Body Knows - Dance as Embodied Inquiry

Dr. Celeste Snowber

October 20, 2011

University of Alberta

Celeste shares:

"Arts based research:  What are the ethics to bringing our bodies to inquiry.  Uncover the questions beneath the questions.  Humour, human, humility, hummus...

We are bodies, we don't have bodies.  This is about being deeply human on this planet.  It's work of the heart, just not of the mind.

Using the arts for what we don't know through body data, body knowledge about the body data, body wisdom.  It is hard to be awake.  Dance to be awake. Live in the in-between. Show up for your own life.  Be present.

Practice physical acts and times of solitudes, attending deeply and honoring all of it and turning blood to ink."

<< Thank you Celeste for a fabulous, fabulous semester Fall 2012  >>

Looks like I don't have to wait for better weather.  

Tons of ideas and experimental plantings in this article....

The Christmas tree we harvested Christmas Eve from our front yard :)

That's my sweetie getting it into the stand.  

Jim and Danielle were stellar in sawing it down, trekking it into the house, 

getting the lights on and decorating it!!

Ian Williams practices a great concept to really get into character when he writing.  I see a connection with this and the wonderful work that Celeste taught us last semester...when your body is involved with your head and heart, authenticity flows.  Oh, by the way, I've recently caught two books in the media covering the notion of finding one word to focus on for the year (instead of heavy-laden lists we carry around).  I'm going with FLOW.  Thanks Stephen - your course from last fall continues to roll through my mind and body!  Flow, flow, flow.
