A bit about me before we go off on this adventure. I am a yogi and athlete, and I own a business which provides integrated visual services/branding. But, on yoga... started yoga many years ago while touring as an installation designer and photographer for a modern dance company. All the dancers went to yoga one morning and took me along. The most thrilling part of class was that I knew absolutely nothing.
Fast forward to now, I still practice yoga and one of my favorite little bits is that it's a practice, not a super amazing advanced final performance of perfection. It seems that as adults we expect ourselves to be experts at everything right away, even if it means closing off possibilities. So adults get good at playing expert, but I love how the body won't let you fake it; if you can't lift the weight, climb the rock, balance on the bench then you can't. Physical activity is my meditation in being present, an exact moment in sweat, muscle, breath, and skin.. no faking allowed.
So, it's time to begin again. Dream at Play is a surrender to knowing nothing, being a beginner, turning it upside down and laughing all the way home.
The first 60 days start at Kinetic Arts Center; aerial rope and hand balancing. here we go.
