AMC Sunday Ecstatic Dances w Ted Riskin

Sunday, May 17th 1st Dance Wave 8:30-10:30am | Warmup 8:30am | Opening Circle 9am 2nd Dance Wave 10:30-12:30am | Warmup 10:30am | Opening Circle 11am DJ | Facilitator Ted Riskin Intention: Let go of the banana! You may have heard the parable of a simple way to catch monkeys in the jungle. Leave a banana in a container with an opening large enough for the monkey’s hand, but small enough that it can’t remove its hand while grasping the banana. Even as a hunter approaches, the monkey won’t release the banana so it can escape. What is the banana that is keeping you stuck because you won’t let it go? Approval or acceptance of your lifestyle choices from a parent? Permission to set a boundary? Needing to prove your point or win the argument? You are invited to release some bananas in Sunday’s dance and grieve their loss. About the Facilitator | DJ Ted Riskin is interested in anything that can get him out of his head, and music and movement do a pretty good job of that. He hopes to offer music that facilitates an inner journey and invitations that create a shift. While he likes modern electronic music, he can’t create a mix without including lots of natural instruments and voices. Due to a short attention span, he mixes in lots of different musical genres. You can hear some of his mixes on mixcloud.com/tarisk. ~~~ ** Please note that the dance starts at Warm up. The doors close promptly at Opening Circle and people who arrive late will be turned away.
