Finding roots, grounding self while we #shelterinplace

In your house:
  1. Choose a houseplant or outdoor plant/tree for inspiration.
  2. Imagine your body is digging roots into the floor.
  3. Flow in and out of free and bound movements while staying rooted.
  4. Become the leaves, branches, and blossoms of your plant or tree. 

Feeling stuck or unmotivated during quarantine? This lesson explores how the body can move while being rooted in one place. How can we continue to grow while sheltering in place? While planted in one place, what is it we can discover about ourselves, the world, and the space around us?

Dig in and use any of the suggestions below to expand on this mini-dance. Remember this can be as simple or complex as you want. It’s yours to make. Take your time and play!

Can you:
  • Discover the different ways you can move while staying in one place.
  • Experiment with different body parts as the roots.
  • Imagine the quality of the movement when in the sun, when watered.
  • Expand, trace, fill, dig.

Today’s focus: BODY and ENERGY.
​
Happy dance making!!
