Responsive to Community Needs:
Our movement and states of being do not exist in a vacuum. In Moving Rasa we use movement to develop awareness and agency with our kebatinan, our internal world. This internal world responds to every relationship that we have with others, objects, the environment and ideas.
In Moving Rasa we:
1) Connect the experience of emotions to what is happening in our body and the movement we make.
2) We also connect it to who, what, and where we are in relation to via proximity, facing, leaning and many other nonverbal interactions.
3) We practice organizing a collective in movement, relational configurations and in place to resonate with our internal experience and to help us find desired imagined possibilities.
