Teri Carter is a movement and health artist who ongoingly explores the
transformative capacity of the arts. She has been practicing, teaching,
choreographing, and performing dance and movement since 1979, and she was
an athlete for many years prior. The recipient of choreographic fellowships and
grants in New York City, Oregon and Wisconsin, she has produced over 30
dances and seven full concerts of dance performance.
Fostering integrative and innovative research, creativity, and performance in
the arts, Teri's work offers a unique perspective on the link between
kinesthetic and expressive disciplines. For the past decade Teri has pursued
the puzzle of holding conscious awareness in performance, expanding from the
cognitive and immediate aesthetic concerns of technique, style, and the
individual ego of the performer. She addresses physical and mental presence
through embodiment, opening a portal to the concerns of this planet and
beyond through interconnection.
Specializing in Contact Improvisation, Somatic Experiencing, and Martial Arts,
Teri brings adventures in the unmapped territories of the human body-mind to
both class and performance environments. Participants can experience the
scope of our humanity by entering into physics and frequency realms that are
not bound by time, space, or condition. In this method of movement, tissue
structure becomes multidimensional, as we learn to move beyond previously
held perceptions of the body's capabilities. The implications spill into our daily
lives, and this evolutionary approach brings more awareness to ourselves and
the planet.
