Core Principles- Becoming Otherwise:

1. Unlearning the Center – Deconstructing dominant paradigms of performance rooted in control, hierarchy, and Eurocentric embodiment.
   
   

2. The Body as Threshold – Understanding the body as a site of emergence, transformation, and relation with the world.
   
   

3. More-than-Human Movement – Incorporating the rhythms, textures, and intelligences of the Earth, animals, ancestors, and the unknown.
   
   

4. Imagination as Portal – Chekhovian tools to awaken the body’s ability to shape energy, emotion, and space.
   
   

5. Movement as Ritual – Using Halprin’s RSVP cycles to create deeply personal and communal journeys.
   
   

6. Awareness, Slowness and Listening – Rooted in Hatha Yoga and Inspired by Akomolafe’s invitation to “go slow,” embracing time as nonlinear and indeterminate.
   
   

7. Co-regulation and Emergence – Cultivating improvisation not as performance, but as an ethics of being with.
