Michelle Boulé

Choreographer Michelle Boulé (NYC) will develop Field (working title), a dance examining relationships between the scientific research of traditional and contemporary healing practices and aesthetic form. Numerous energetic and consciousness-based healing practices work with the idea that a healing process is guided by an internal knowing, as well as a universal blueprint for order and balance. The work explores what arises and what can be created with guidance from personal and transpersonal wisdom.
