Contemplative Dance

Engaging with Contemplative Dance

Contemplative Dance is a practice of moving meditation that employs the innate intelligence of the body, psyche and imagination to seek wholeness and integration.

I apply contemplative dance in my arts participation practices due to its depth and simplicity. I
use principles of contemplative dance to research urban and rural challenges among communities of interest in a variety of projects. I also apply in support of mentoring and supervision.


Gratitude to Barbara Dilley, the originator of this work.
