“I relish this practice because it brings me home to myself, provides me with insights and ideas, heals the splits in my being, allows me to engage with spirit in a full-bodied way, and offers me an occasion to work with other people in rare depth and trust. It is refreshing and deeply satisfying. It produces, to my eye, dances that are more engaging, genuine, subtle and human than much dance I see. It provokes questions about the nature of performance and provides a ground for ritual and the spiritual dimension.”

“I think of this work as Active Imagination through movement. I experience sensations, feelings, memories, images and the numinous in a process that is more satisfying and challenging to me than any other practice I know. Through this embodiment, the psyche unfolds in its own organic way, at its own pace. This is a spiritual practice which helps integrate body and soul, personal and archetypal, inner and outer, the conscious and the unconscious both in myself and in the people with whom I work. It is a way of creating a more poetic and artful holding of life’s difficulties and life’s bounty.” — alton
