Our organs undulate with rhythms of the first algae. Our tissue sways like kelp, furling and unfurling - eternal sway - dark ocean sway - deep in the middle of the dark, where photosynthesis never occurs. The kelp of our tissues remembers the ancient ones. On land now, remembering the dark, dark water where light never is, the silent ones move.
— Life on Land: Emilie Conrad
Earlier this summer, I encountered this book by Emilie Conrad which fueled my intrigue into water, algae, kelp, and the connection to our own bodies.
Emilie Conrad created an entire movement technique around the idea that we have never lost our connection to the water that we came from.
She suggests that fluid connects us to ourselves, our origins, other life forms, and the universe.
I was so inspired by her life, writing and intuitive movement that I am weaving this into my work and I want to start taking classes from people who teach Continuum!
