IAP 2010 Activity


Grooving with the Dharma
Harrison Blum, M.Ed.; Harvard Divinity School
Fri Jan 22, 01-03:00pm, W20-407

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event

This workshop will engage the moving body as a vehicle for contemplative practice. Structures will include seated and walking meditations as well as hip-hop warm ups, creative movement exercises, free-form dance scores, and small group choreography. These embodied experiences will be informed by traditional Buddhist teachings and concepts. No dance or Buddhism experience needed.

Harrison Blum is a Boston-based dancer-educator focused on kinesthetic learning and embodied spirituality. Over the past two years, much of his work has been wedding Buddhist practice with improvisational dance (movingdharma.org). His workshops are tailored especially toward encouraging comfort and enjoyment for less experienced movers.
