Dana and Frieda became friends surrounded by a wild garden and some wild dance experiments along the Northern California coastline. 15 years later, those places are still speaking through their collaboration, interlaced with several others now.

In this collaboration, we traverse the terrains of movement arts, healing practices, and ecological engagement to deepen our relationships to the environmental networks we are a part of (the seasons, our web of relations, the human organism, creative processes). Our work is held by the understanding that we do not exist outside of our relationships and landscapes.

We have studied, collaborated, and performed with movement geniuses such as Min Tinaka, Anna Halprin, Tere O’Connor, Sara Shelton Mann, Frey Faust, Lisa Nelson, and Jozef Frucek, among so many others we’ve had the privilege to know. Our aim is to widen the field of how dance and movement are experienced in our culture - not just for practicing artists, but for all bodies no matter their age, gender, profession, or vantage point. Movement intelligence is for all of us.
