Tapestry Dance Company rearranged my cells.  I said goodbye to my DNA.

Left brain gave way to meticulous aboriginal choruses.  Right brain collapsed into brief slow motion silences.  In those spaces of mimetic time, simple circular arms took my entire body tumbling over waterfalls to one side, then roaring back to the other side.

Sound erupted from my entire body forming one word, “YES.”  I will never be the me that I knew before being immersed in this much clarity. 

Never the Same Again,  Tim Hurst,  092611,  Tapestry Dance Company, “The Souls of Our Feet”  September 24, 2011

Dedication to my partners and teachers who have loved this dance with me.

Kindness in the foot placing itself.

Kindness in the breath receiving itself.

Kindness way behind the eyes and yes deeply seeing behind trillions of intimate cells.

Kindness dancing inside precious joints undulating outwards towards the most open embrace.

Kindness drawing only nourishment from the seas we call our atmosphere.

Kindness insisting that harm is not our friend.

Kindness reaching bringing embracing our partners in this our dance.

Kindness timing our rhythmic spaces to taste tender and tragic trial and error.

Kindness within multiple moments of rest ready for momentum to exude life.

Kindness allowing dance to bubble and travel through our rapids along our placid stretches passage upon passage.

Kindness greeting our enemies offering to offend our visceral fears, our hidden wishes, our clutch on darkness.

Kindness to greet our overwhelming dance of delight overflowing from every corner of our known and unknown vulnerabilities.

A friend came to Movin’ Easy for tap shoes to begin tap dance at Tapestry Dance Academy in Austin.  I said, “This will be a great opportunity for you to deal with all that confusion in your life.”  I was speaking from experience since dance is my friend in this respect almost every day.

She asked me, “What do you mean?”  I said, “Have you taken Tai Chi’.”  “Yes.”  Do you remember how it felt to shift slowly from one side of your body to the other?”  “Kind of.”

“That’s the point.  Tai Chi integrates the breath as you shift left side, right side.  That seems subtle to us. 

“Tap dancing requires clear commitment in moving from one side to the other.  You shift from using one side of the brain, then the other.  Plus you are sealing that commitment into the hard wired rhythmic part of the brain.  Or at least you are getting into your psyche through a set of wiring used since the earliest humans.”

Encoded sound is the way we make the day go round.  Each sentence we use is our lively rhythm or our sedated avoidance.

Scientists say we listen and our brains go click click.  We have to listen and tap the sound to make our brains go click click and clack.

Now only our youngest ones remember that our brains require our bodies to recreate the musical intricacies of our delight. 

http://www.balletaustin.org/  Stephen Mills musicaliy brings an extraordinary dimension to Mozart.

Children’s brains eat Mozart like candy.  What are adults waiting for—a ballet to illustrate Mozart for our stalled out brains.

Cartoons won’t do.  Only the deepest level of intricate movement and emotion can explode Mozart’s full delight into our senses.  Only a Mozart ballet feast will integrate the playful melodies we take for granted, send rhythmic delight bouncing through our lethargic cells, and insist that we rearrange our thoughts to take courage once again.

Musicality in dance goes beyond the delight of hearing Mozart with Stephen Mills and Ballet Austin http://www.balletaustin.org/
