Presence is the event of this moment embedded in our physical, emotional relational and energetic flow. How do we create ourselves in this moment?  We do this in the minute gestures, adjustments and the resonance we experience in ourselves and others. In this workshop we will explore our own presence and interplay with others as a dialogue of dance within and between us.
