Community Art as Life Process

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  07 December 2021

Extract

How can I compress into a few printed pages the vitality, the excitement, the heartbreaks, frustrations, the wonder, joys, sadness, the miracles, and ecstasy that have characterized the “Journey into Body Consciousness” that many talented people who have been part of the Dancers’ Workshop have experienced together. Some of these people have gone on to pursue their own journeys, a few of us have remained to deepen and clarify, and new people have come in to reinforce and add their own intensities and lifestyles. There has been one thread along the way that has been the ongoing aspect of this journey: an attempt to find a process that unites personal growth with artistic growth, life and art, one aspect feeding off of the other and continuously coming together in new ways.
