About
Drawing on her simple practice of zer(O)ing, dance artist Mary Nunan invites participants to attune to space – a living field of sensation that we move through and with – to become aware, as we walk, of this sensation traveling lightly through the density and porosity of our bodies and minds. Moving at a mindful pace, participants are encouraged to tune into this field, their heartbeat and the subtle rhythms of the body, cultivating a shared sense of presence and connection.
Together, we sense into what lies “in-between” – between self and surroundings, stillness and motion – discovering it in our own way, as we walk.
