The Sacred Something is an improvisational practice that cultivates a perceptual state in which perception is no more or less important than anything else.
It’s a relaxing feeling, not having to take control. Objects have relevance here; the room does not need to be rid of things before dancing can happen. Nor does the body need to be rid of “things” like impulses, memories, or images. It’s a joyful, overwhelming, affirmative practice to get lost in and to take with you into the world.
