What is modern and interesting in dance making when everything is shocking, showgirl, experimental, edgy and sexual?
Martha Eddy states, “When the dancing is approached from a holistic perspective, which involves experiential inquiry inclusive of physical awareness, cognitive reflection, and insights from feelings, the dancing is somatic.”

Watching important as making and doing
Trust in your body bc you can communicate that story and depth of feeling
