A special one-time workshop presentation bringing together founders of Tamalpa Institute, dance and expressive arts pioneers Anna Halprin and Daria Halprin, in a summer workshop with Dance and Life/Art dialogues, the work they originated. The culminating 2 days, based on the work of Lawrence Halprin on scoring and movement in nature, will be led by Tamalpa Institute core faculty member, Taira Restar.

This workshop offers time to feel and to listen deeply to the powerful intelligence of the body, to play and express with imagination through the arts, to create personal and collective dances that have meaning, and to bring new vision to the life themes that matter to us in our daily lives. Participants will gain new resources and inspiration to take back home.
