The human body reacts to the information that its own body supplies. Since bodily movements are guided and shaped by the living human body, dance is a perceptual process. The human body can create shapes and postures that we manifest inseparably from consciousness itself and the wholeness of the human experience. Visualize your muscles surrendering to gravity, see your vertebra moving away from one another, the fluids in your hands, feet, arms and legs, lift and elevate your flesh, listen to how your body adapts to your physical attitudes, your inner organs finding internal easiness, your limbs feeling independent, the space between your joints…notice a flow of energy causing an adaptation to your body.Humans face basically the same adaptive challenges as all organisms but humans are unique in having most of their adaptations transmitted culturally.
