This Ability-Holistic Dance
<p>Jhe and Jenni both live with bilateral disabilities and chronic pain and have decided to entitle this form of movement “This Ability’’ as opposed to the term disability. We want to encourage all peoples, especially those who may be in mental and physical pain, to trust themselves through non-judgmental movement using the vehicle of sacred geometry.</p><p>The five elements, including their geometric shapes, are:</p><p>- Earth- Cube</p><p>- Water-Icosahedron</p><p>- Air-Octahedron</p><p>- Fire-Tetrahedron</p><p>- Ether-Dodecahedron</p><p>We will be creating a safe space for people of all ages and experiences to be held in community movement and exploration, regardless of their current mental or mobility struggles.</p> 2022-04-15 14:00:00 -05006/25/221:00 p.m.James Alan McPherson ParkIowa City
