Body Watani Dance centers embodied research as a pathway towards understanding what the body already knows, and what our bodies can reveal to us especially when we practice collectively. The body-as-homeland research practice we work with invites participants into improvisational prompts that support reflections on ones’ own relation to place, homeland, ancestral wanderings, migration, displacement, exile and contemplations of what homeland means (to you / to us / to the land we dance on).

These sessions will be loosely guided, intentionally held containers for improvisation accompanied by live musical collaborators. A call and invitation to arrive to the space, meet inside a question or contemplation, and follow the winding road that is revealed amidst much unknowns.
