Dunya, who grew up in Woods Hole dancing with Klara Koenig, gave a Dance Meditation class yesterday at the Mary French Studio. In the beautiful space we moved through fluid Yoga to a mind/body place that left the world behind for a while.
Her particular exercise this time was for us to move with the eyes closed and then to open them for a while to test how sight can be distracting. It felt like moving in and out of body awareness.
Now a Sufi with a Dervish Society website, Dunya trained at Juilliard, so she knows how she looks. I have just begun to wonder enough to look at myself in the mirror before closing my eyes again in order to fix the body memory to the movement.
