The SOMA Fest explores how we can foster and sustain
wellness and creativity in any circumstance, while
connecting with our internal kinesthetic experience? In its
fifth year, this pioneering event enhances somatic - sensory
awareness in practice, performance & daily life.
Fostering both body and mind transformation, individuals
from all walks of life learn to bring themselves more fully to
holistic health, self discovery, internal spaciousness,
sensory awareness, liquid strength and refined physical
articulation. We'll explore how somatic experiencing
awakens our inner world for a more profound connection
with the performing environment and the world at large,

An opportunity to cultivate health, creativity and ease-of-movement. Somatic practices help amplify
body-mind awareness and physical performance. Explore embodiment tools that give us freedom
to be our 'essential selves' in resonance with the environment; a superb way to bring awareness to
oneself and the world. Learn methods that develop athletic virtuosity and the art of performance -
plus - prevent injury, rejuvenate the system, reveal anti-aging benefits and help us reconnect with
self. Key for dancers, movers, actors, writers, musicians, performers, somatic practitioners and all
those interested in developing a more profound capacity for self healing and expression.

EMBODYMENT PERFORMANCES click here for performances
SOMA Fest Performances present kinesthetically charged contemporary and improvisational work
by International and Local Artists. This year's theme looks at detailed articulation, finesse, and
attention to inner/outer awareness. Can you imagine being TRULY aware of self and environment
in any circumstance, including on-stage? SOMA Fest Artists take on the multiple challenge of skill,
aesthetics, presence in the artist's internal world, as well as connection to other performers,
audience members, and the world at large! The audience plays a participatory role with this visceral
performance approach.
