Two and a half days of exploration into the interspecies dialogue between humans and equines guided by JoAnna Mendl Shaw in collaboration with Catskill equestrian, equine trainer and musician, Dan McCarthy of Catskill Natural Horse.

Learning to move in tandem with an equine partner, offers rich territory for deepening one's own embodied awareness. Physical Listening focuses on our sensory, physical intelligence  emphasizes exploration in relationship to other sentient beings.

 

Saturday November 12th, The Equus Projects will perform their dance theater work, 

Interspecies Journey, a merging of live dance, storytelling & film excerpts

from IMPRINTED, A documentary about passion and compassion.
