Chant Dance
Chant Dance is a refined art form based on
"Eurythmy", meaning "beautiful movement" in Greek. Experience
the energetic gesture of sound, the mysterious, creative essence of the "Logos",
the dynamic, archetypal dance of the planets and zodiac, all becoming
alive through movement. Poetry and music become "visable" by giving these arts
another dimension. Colourful, flowing veils reveal the astral motion in the
auric field. Our subtle bodies are tranparent instruments for celestial and soulful sound
to move through us. Chant Dance is an alchemical marriage of poetry. music,
dance and Divine Inspiration. We all unite into a collective vessel for global
healing. Please inquire about upcoming performances and workshops. www.silentground.com
