Mindfulness in motion: The intersection of mindfulness and expressive movement in theatrical and acrobatic movement
India,Denmark,Canada,Ethiopia
Physical practices, such as circus arts, have caused immense changes in my life and many others around me. During my Watson year I will experience and examine ancient movement practices as well as physical theatre and circus arts in other cultures. I hope to see how these movements correlate with mindfulness and examine how these practices affect the physical and mental development of both practitioners and observers. Throughout this process I hope to find constructive ways in which physical principles can be used to help people realize their full physical and mental potential. I hope to enhance my own ideas of what being mindful means, while helping others cultivate mindful practices that can transform their every day lives.
