Dance Manifesto

6/14/2017

I dance to retaliate.
I dance to rebel against our sedentary complacencies.
I dance to reclaim the physical intelligence that neo-platonism has condemned.
I dance for awareness and presence.
I dance because our awareness and presence threatens the status quo.
I dance to be acutely aware of myself in the flesh, not the image I am conditioned to craft               myself into.
I dance to experience, when so much experience has been outsourced to the virtual.
I dance to reclaim my body from the capitalist standards that propagate shame to profit the             500 Billion dollar beauty industry.
I dance for empathy, compassion, and alliance with humanity and the natural world.
I dance as a mode of of self inquiry and process in a time of mass consumerism.
I dance to stay personally engaged in a time of societal distraction.
I dance to be free.

    I am but a world,
    some flesh and bones
    to keep it in.
