Music & Movement

“To turn, turn will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we come ’round right
Simple Gifts, traditional Shaker song

We are musical creatures. It is like a rising tide inside us, making everything inside more fluid and connected. Our feelings are aroused and calmed. Our memories flash forward as if they happened yesterday. The impulse to move – to sway, to tap – to dance – is almost irresistible. It’s us with our lights on. Even with no external music, we sing inside.
