This month of January 2023 has brought a growing interest in The Feldenkrais® Inclusion Initiative (feldenkraisinclusioninitiative.org). Five new students have joined classes with four of our teachers. Others have expressed interest and may be signing up for classes soon.

Several of our teachers and supporters continue looking at ways to improve talking about our core values. Inviting you to enjoy the VIBRANCY of the quotes below, and RESPOND to this blog with YOUR thoughts!

Quoting below from ‘Dance Makers’ reclaims power for UNDERREPRESENTED groups, SCD’s annual choreographer showcase features a world of movement and CULTURAL PERSPECTIVES. By Emily Leinfuss January 25, 2023 (emphasis added KH)

“The company is also reclaiming activism through art. “Art is action. As dance makers we are creating ACTION that’s not only for the performance stage, but also to ripple through so people walk out of the theater MORE CULTURALLY AWARE.” (emphasis added KH)

~~
“But Reclaim is even bigger than all those things: It’s being THANKFUL that we are ALL STILL STANDING. “We always talk about the human spirit and being thankful that we are alive and breathing and we have this GIFT of DANCE.” Let’s RECLAIM that.” (emphasis added KH)

With appreciation to Feldenkrais teacher Bonnie Kissam who shared the photo from the evening opener, “Sunlit Sea,” is a nature-inspired ensemble work by Austin-based choreographer Lisa del Rosario with original music by percussionist and composer Adam Bedell.
