B E L O N G

B E L O N G is a dance birthed when leaves are not yet on the trees. When there is bareness. When the light is waking. When the sun is shining through the bare bows, and she is blinding.
Maybe this dance springs new life into me, into you. It certainly meets a longing, beckons a belonging, an entwining into the spark of new growth that we follow along the year.
I dance this dance around the time of Imbolc to Beltane, the markers between the sparks of spring inside deep winter, and the spark of summer inside deep spring; between February and early April, in a tiny red oak tree in a wild part of North London. And other trees like her I’m invited to.
At times I dance BELONG as duet with fellow dancer Rachel Elderkin, then it becomes a dance called Darkness Integrates our Light Belonging danced on the ground and into the sky.

You can come to this dance in London, UK, through the Sanctuary on the Fault Line movement, and it’s gift economy. For invitations to my dances in the London wilds write and ask here.
