articles
“Systems of destructive conflict are not innate, they are recreated every day. I see this as cause for hope because it means that we have a choice. We can develop the capacity to choose new pathways of interaction as individuals and as communities.” – A Persistent Mobility of Perspective
“This is what I love about dancers, their capacity to come back every day and start all over again, not to reach perfection but to renew the ideas. Skill is not something that limits us, skill is what emerges when we think deeply on things that are important to us.” –The Transformative Body
