Reflect on the body as a landscape for healing, movement as a practice of connection to self.
Offsite: Music Pavilion at Taliesin West 12621 N Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd, Scottsdale, AZ 85259
The spine connects the body. The sun sustains life. Together they anchor this conversation at the intersection of health, culture, and nature. Guided by themes in Jacob Jonas The Company’s Nature Sounds While the IV Drips, this is the second part in a trilogy titled Keeping Score, shaped by Bessel van der Kolk’s book The Body Keeps the Score and choreographer Jacob Jonas’s first work post-cancer. This panel gathers health practitioners and cultural leaders to Taliesin West to reflect on the body as a landscape for healing and on movement and art as a practice of connection to both self and environment.
Sun and Spine is presented as part of Jacob Jonas The Company’s residency with Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts and in collaboration with Taliesin West.
Scottsdale Arts is the only authorized ticket-seller for this event.
