The Poetry of Presence is a very deep journey, which is giving us time to engage through
movement, through writing and through meditation with the stories we are telling through our
life, as if each one of us is like a living storybook, but so often the stories we are
telling through our work, through our relationships, through our dance, our stories that we have
inherited, often stories that we are unconscious of, often based on unexamined assumptions
about who we are about what life is. And the Poetry of Presence comes from the understanding
that the dancer Inside us, when they're really rooted in the physical body, and free to move,
they are living in the present, and they're very aware of the story they're telling, because
they become much more aware of the choice that they have. Each one of us has quite some
choice about the story that the story that we are telling that we are living in this
life, and it's a very empowering journey to see more clearly what are the stories that
my body, my mind are telling, and are they still up-to-date, are they useful, do they
serve me, do they serve life? And through the Poetry of Presence, we are taking time
to consciously create and to bring into the story of our life the things which give us
a sense of meaning, purpose and above all, dignity. And this is a beautiful piece of
work that each one of us could do, that our movement, our feeling, and our thinking are
all going in the same direction, they're all going in the direction of creating a life
we came here to live.
