A Short Film about Glimpses of Light

This six-minute video explores the essence of my interdisciplinary work and why I use the name Glimpses of Light.
Moving between dance spaces, DJing, photography, worldwork and ritual, the intention of all the offerings is to invite insight, life-affirming experiences and embodied consciousness.
Made in collaboration with Emilio Mula and nu-frame.

The Way of the Dancer

A 2minute intro to the essence of how I hold and teach movement practice, weaving threads of 5Rhythms and Movement Medicine with Taoist, animist and subcultural influences.

Soul Power

A short introduction to the practice of using dance as a way of awakening Soul energy. Through moving Body, Heart and Mind we can integrate these aspects of ourselves to find a wholeness of being.

Sweaty Thursdays

From 2005 until 2019, I spent most Thursday evenings in a big church in South London, holding a 5Rhythms dance space. It was a seminal time for many and became the source point of a vibrant community of dancers. Gratitude to all that were-part of it. Big thanks to Alex Forster for this poetic memento from the final dance.

Rhythm Village

In 2018, with the dancingTao Collective and our AIM partners, I curated Rhythm Village a community festival of dance and celebration. The 10-day event was the centrepiece of All In Movement, a year-long collaborative project exploring movement practice and inclusion, with groups from London, Berlin, Rome and Budapest.

Where the Rivers Meet the Sea

The Bioregional Learning Centre commissioned a group of artists to make work as part of The Saltmarsh Project. This film by Emilio Mula is a glimpse from the making of my DJ mix Where the River meets the Sea – mixed live on the saltmarsh at Sharpham.

Listening to Tidal Times

During phase 2 of The Saltmarsh Project I made this video poem exploring the profound and other-worldly atmosphere of the saltmarshes. The piece is also a meditation on climate change and ecology in the 21st-century.

Part 1

The first in a two-part conversation with Felix Oram explored my journey with dance and music. Recorded in early 2024, there’s some nice stories and anecdotes here from the years I was teaching regularly in London.

Part 2

The second conversation with Felix went more deeply into movement as meditation and the methods we use in 5Rhythms, Movement Medicine and other practice.

What Moves You?

My long-time friend, peer and colleague Jo Hardy have been dancing together for over 20 years. Recorded for the ICMTA in 2023, this was a deep dive into movement teaching and our experience with process, community,, transformation and the quirks of being dance teacher in the 2020s.

Soul Purpose

Caroline and I were both Movement Medicine Pathfinders for several years and have a shared interest in the intersection between movement, art and soul purpose. This was a really vibrant conversation in May 2024.
