Dancing Life
A Playful Encounter of Maitri and Dance
By Alexa Gould-Kavet
This October, the large shrine room floor was caressed, stomped, delicately slithered and tiptoed across by thirty sets of feet. These feet, each day, were swathed in red, green, yellow, blue and white. Our feet come to mind because they tether us to the earth, like breath to the mind.
In what was a truly revolutionary meeting of modern dance and the Maitri experience, Catherine Eveillard of St Yrieix Sous Aixe (France), Myriam Szabo and Fatou Traore of Brussels (Belgium), joyously rejuvenated the Maitri process in a collaborative effort, with a diverse group of individuals from all over Europe. Titled “Danser Sa Vie,” this was the annual francophone programme at Dechen Choling.
