“An emblematic exercise within the Talawa Technique™ is the practice of ‘Water Walks.’ Dancers balance a water bottle atop the head while executing rhythmic steps and direction changes.
Metaphoric Symbolism: Water symbolizes unceasing motion and adaptability, inviting practitioners to move with fluidity and acceptance of change.” – Thomas Presto
Please bring an empty 28 oz Powerade bottle, and something to tie on your head if needed.
In collaboration and community with Dimensions Dance Theater.
