Description

In this episode, Michael J Morris and I conjure up the dancestors for wisdom and body magic.

We discuss

• How necessary joy + pleasure are to “stay with the trouble”
• Re-imagining the indirectness of our survival and primal needs
• The false binary of survival + pleasure
• The body as the altar + container for magic
• Butoh’s approach to the body and dance, lineage and revolution
• Dance as a way to imagine other ways of being in a body
• Being “with” difficulty and toxicity
• Practicing empathetic embodiment and compassion
• Exploring ordinary movement as dance 
• Practicing the aspirational
• Authentic movement as a desire-based practice
• Desire + pleasure as emergent and nonlinear
