Anna Halprin Breaks Barriers

Here is a post from Musings of a Dance/Movement Therapist blog about postmodern dancer and pioneer, Anna Halprin and the documentary about her, titled "Breath Made Visible." Halprin, turning 90 years old this year, lives in Marin, CA, and continues to teach and inspire others through movement and drawing.

The documentary plays in Santa Cruz on May 15th, 2010. Check here for more information on the film.

I've been getting back into the swing of things at work this week after a fabulous two weeks off in Maui (friend's wedding) and Portland (ADTA conference). If you haven't yet been to the ADTA conference, GO NEXT YEAR IN BROOKLYN. It's a profound experience to be with hundreds of dance/movement therapists. I felt as though I was with "my people."
