ya know what's crazy about this whole experiment??
i started it because i realized how disconnected i was becoming to something that was once so prominent in my life...
but now, 28 days later, i'm realizing that it almost feels like falling in love with with movement all over again.
and not just the appreciation kind of love.
because thats always been there.
but i think i forgot what it feels like to be so connected and immersed in my movement self and how beautiful that can be.
anywayssssss, if you've lost touch with something you once loved (and maybe still do!) i highly encourage you to start searching for it again. ✨️

21 days of movement every day.
seems so silly to be so proud of and excited about such a number of consecutive days of movement...
but also, i never saw myself being in a place where i would be disconnected for a chunk of time.
BUT here we are and this has honestly been so wonderful for my mental health... reconnecting to a piece of me that has always been there in some capacity for my whole life.
something so woven into my life that even the disconnect couldn't cut it completely off.
and it feels so lovely to be here again.
finding new pathways, and old.
experimenting with timing and patterns.
releasing my thoughts through my body.
i'll say it again and again for the rest of my life.... move your body - its so daggum good for ya!

ok ok, its starting to feel like a normal part of my routine again (THANK GOODNESS)
several years ago, pre mama life, i would explore movement any and everywhere...
pumping gas? yep.
grocery shopping? definitely.
rad old building i passed while driving? you better beliiiiiieve i'd pull over and dance.
somewhere along the path of busy and nonstop, i lost sight of how beautiful that can be.
this practice is to get back in my movement body and for that to feel normal again.. but its also about getting past the mental block of creating and moving in front of people and places all the time.
i'm feeling the shift, so were just gonna keep leaning into it!
if youre still reading, i want to encourage you to moooove your body everyday dayyyy!
its so dang good for your body AND brain!
much love 🫶🏻✨️

ok its getting ridiculous honestly....
improvisational movement exploration used to be a part of my every day.
but you know how it goes.
life just has a way of completely distracting you in the shift of seasons and phases.
as i entered the lovely season of motherhood, movement was still there.
it always has been.
just in different ways and weights.
i've continued to teach and create and set movement.
but my relationship with improvisation has wavered back and forth.
and SO, i've decided that it will become a part of my every day schedule again.
because, as i have always shared with my students, improvisation is where you learn SO MUCH about yourself as an artist and mover. and person!!
this week is the first week (in a very long time) that i have been consistent, every single day.
here's to rediscovering and relearning and just moving because it's so good for your body & brain!
a moment for kat !! 🙌🏻
such a pleasure working with this young artist, such cool choices being made!

a little senior session with some movement mixed in for this lovely dancer!
thanks for working with me the past several years, andraia + tiffany - grateful for you guys!
|| hiiii guys, i haven't posted any in a while but i'm still scheduling photoshoots! ||
as my two year old would say - "yoooooooooo!!"
(aka whoaaaaa)
but for real, working with these two artists for the past several years has been such a lovely journey.
their growth within contemporary movement, every other pocket of movement, and as humans has been really beautiful to witness.
THANK YOU ella & cady for letting me be a part of your journey and training.
grateful, grateful for it. ✨
