  • What's the meaning of this move? Call out to listeners
    Mar 14 2022

    For an upcoming episode, Ím doing research about the meaning attached to movement and the shapes human bodies make.

    I want to explore how movement is interpreted both from the outside and from within the human doing the moves.

    I want to explore contexts where it is helpful to offer meaning to moves (i.e. the use of imagery to encourage and support) and where meaning making can be nonsensical or worse, used as a controlling tool to make the human mover feel alienated, dissociated and dis-empowered.

    So I’ve created a survey of a few questions that will take only a couple of minutes and you can find it ">here or

    Sharing your experience moving your body in the world will help me build an episode that let’s people know they’re not alone in experiencing the, quite frankly, weird and wacky world of human movement.

    Your voices are so important, are so precious. I can’t wait to hear from you.
