Open Floor
You already know how to do this.
Your body has always been moving: toward what it needs, away from what it doesn't, and through everything in between. Open Floor is a dance practice of paying attention to that movement. Of letting it teach you.
There are no steps to learn. No choreography. You come as you are, tired, alive, uncertain, ready, and you move. Simple spoken prompts invite you to notice what's already happening. You'll dance alone and with others. And somewhere in every gathering, there's a moment to put words to what the body discovered.
Some days it's quiet. Some days it cracks you open. Both are the practice.
Open Floor asks only that you show up as the person who's actually here.
No experience necessary. All moods welcome.
About
For over 25 years, I've been asking one question in different rooms: How do we learn?
In the classroom, I ask it with teenagers at an alternative public high school in San Francisco, young people the traditional system wasn't built for. On the dance floor, as a trained Open Floor International movement teacher, I ask it with the body.
Alvin Toffler wrote that the illiterate of the 21st century won't be those who can't read and write, but those who can't learn, unlearn, and relearn. That's the foundation of everything I do. The work isn't about arriving at answers. It's about staying willing to be changed by the questions.
I believe we are our bodies: feeling, thought, and soul woven into one. That the most important learning happens in the space between people. And that showing up fully, as you actually are, is its own kind of courage.
I hold an M.A. in Somatic Psychology from CIIS. I live in San Francisco.
