Beginning.
Middle.
End.
An Open Floor Movement Lab with Kelsey Maloney
Because “everything you love, you will lose.”*
You don’t always know how long you’ll have—with someone special, a place you love.
Sometimes you’re out the door before the thing’s even begun.
Or you cling to the beginning as the end unravels closer. Sometimes you miss chunks of the middle because...well, because there are lots of reasons why we might miss the middle.
Sometimes, you savor the whole damn thing.
What’s it like for you in the
Beginning?
Middle?
End?
In this 3-part movement lab, we’ll lean into dance, story, and connection as we explore what Robert Bly called “the ritual ways to say hello and goodbye.” We’ll pay attention to the transitions in between, too, because inside every part of the story, there’s always something beginning and ending.
*The Wild Edge of Sorrow by Francis Weller. The first gate of grief.
