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
Somatic Movement and 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 Somatic Movement, Contact Improvisation 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 dimensional fields that are not
bound by time, space, or context. 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.
