In this multidisciplinary program, dancer, writer, and movement therapist Cris Caivano will lead participants to points at Innisfree that she feels align with passages implying motion in the Tao De Ching, a revered twenty-five-hundred-year-old Chinese poem. The group will read and discuss the relevant passage and then perform site-specific movements choreographed to express the literary and physical ideas around us. The Tao Te Ching remains a source of global inspiration today. Attributed to Lao Tzu, the found of Taoism, or perhaps an assemblage of teachers, it is a guide to cultivating wisdom and spiritual centeredness.
Long a professional dancer and choreographer, local resident Cris Caivano is a movement therapist, qigong and dance educator, and writer who studies the Tao Te Ching.
This all-ages program is beginner-friendly. Participants should wear comfortable shoes and clothing that allow for easy movement.
