INTENTION Dance Theatre
Our intention is to access the aliveness that is
available when we arrive fresh in each moment.
This potency is the source of creativity,
nourishment and healing. Through movement
improvisation and gesture, character
development is accessed through embodiment,
making way for intriguing movement theatre.

The IDT ensemble weaves movement and
healing arts in their performance work. This
process helps provide compelling experiences
for audiences, as the artists cultivate open
body-mind systems while moving.

IDT plays with the dynamic principles of physics, revealing
athletic qualities that are not bound by form or technique.
They portray the flexibility of bio-systems that can travel the
spectrum from stillness to vigorous dynamism.

With the spontaneity of Somatic and improvisational
techniques, the artists find access to a multitude of
characters and species, as their open systems are flooded
with information from manifold space/time possibilities.
This practice of releasing cultural notions of a dancer's
body and form, stimulates creative possibility.

IDT is the producer of L.A.'s SOMA Fest, a event geared
toward Somatic Embodiment in Practice and
Performance. The festival offers potent opportunities
for dancers, actors and people from all walks of life, to
enhance their innate presence and movement capacity.
Five days of workshops and performances with leading
Somatic Movement Artists from across the country, take
place at Santa Monica's 18th Street Arts Complex, in
both Highways Performance Space and the Continuum
Studio. See www.somafest.org for more information.
