Animals, plants, aliens, ancestors, ghosts, mountains, the ocean – the more-than-human approach recruits ambassadors every year to assist training sensorial skills and intuitive forms of knowing. Take for example the horse herd, organized though non-predatory forms of power and leadership and the various group roles of: leader, dominant, nurturer, and sentinel, all assigned to different behaviors, duties and even producing specific hormones necessary for the continuation and flourishing of their familial herd. What could we ask them about companionship, telepathy, touch?

Six women are dancing together, weaving pathways of terrestrial gestures and breath, seeping into a matrix of micro and macro worlds. The curiosity. The reach. The togetherness. The differentiation. Some things you only get from dancing, from the figure in flight, in the blur of movement, between forms and caught in emergent fantastical embodiments, simultaneously musical and gentle. They offer a quality of attention that you can rest upon, like a soft cloud, like the rolling hills of home, like the dog wagging his tail. This space is contemplating the notion of attunement, my cosmic meeting yours.
