SUIT.CASE Dance Theater

Who told you, you can not dance? Who told you, you can not be? Who dressed your life with this heavy Suit?

We believe everybody can dance! We believe everybody can create. We believe that ART, LIKE LIFE, IS AN INTUITIVE INSTINCT.

Suit.Case is a shout for freedom; freedom from the fears preventing us from being whom and what we are; freedom from the imposed that tells us what we should do and the right ways of be.

Suit.Case is a pioneer art, where life and art are not separated by imposed means. This pioneer art heals the separation between mind and body, inspiration and action and artists and audiences. Suit.Case is an improvisational art piece, a heightened act of living, a ceremony of surrendering; dancing the great dance of the un-suited soul.

What is the suit? It is a symbol of the imposed, blinding and hunger for validation.

What is the paint? It is a symbol of the shamanic tool of transformation, entering the sub-world to perform the ceremony of healing.

What is the dance? The dance is our mean of communication; the dive in to the 'dream time' transporting the inspiration of unspoken knowledge.

Where this work does comes from? This work comes from over 20 years of research of the moving body and the practice and development of intuitive skills through teaching, creating, performing and facilitating numerous creative projects and life/art processes with numerous people around the world.

Contributing to this project you support us continue to develop and extend this life changing work and inspire more people to reconnect with their creative source and life's force.

The ceremony makes sense when there is a tribe; join the tribe, making it possible!
