" Break through the wall!

Find my dream!

Help me to shatter this darkness,

To smash this night,

To break this shadow

Into a thousand lights of sun,

Into a thousand whirling dreams of sun”

from the poem " As I Grew Older " by Langston

Through the language of dance the soul speaks, the spirit awakens, and

that which lies dormant and has no words comes into being. This

workshop will explore dance as a deep and essential form of self

expression, interpersonal connection and communal healing. We enter

into dance as a means of discovery, revelation and reconnection to

those parts of ourselves which have been silenced, shattered,

immobilized. As we come to know and move through our own shadows and

fierce walls, we prepare ourselves for using the powerful language of

dance as a way of helping others find ways to speak the unspeakable and

reach towards their dreams.
