We call them Happenings....
Whether we are seen or unseen is unimportant. What matters is our presence and our witness.
Through our happenings we assert that dancing/moving is part of everyday life. We respond to environments, to our shifting awareness of who we are and where we are moment to moment. Our happenings provide the means by which we interrogate direct experience and those who watch or pass by are invited to do the same.
