Moving Between Worlds: Restoring Easeful Movement 
Together, we will explore seven practices that you can do on your own to establish the delicious flow between groundedness and spaciousness in daily life or artistic practice. Drawing on Olsen’s newest book, Moving Between Worlds: A Guide to Embodied Living and Communicating, we move, write, and reflect on the process of perceiving freshly in service of more conscious living and making.

She is a Professor Emeritus of Dance at Middlebury College in the US and teaches and performs internationally.
