On Saturday October 26th, I had the wonderful opportunity to view Confluence, a project from the MN international dance festival. The dance troupes also led workshops that week, that unfortunately I did not get the chance to attend because of work. Seeing the social media updates on the workshops was thrilling though, as I noticed diversity in participants. This made me so happy! People who were not apart of Cambodian culture partaking in the embodiment of our cultural storytelling and learning about the mother postures. It served as a space that was reflective, timeless and inspiring. The performance revealed that the art, history and movement of dance is very much still alive. I was also hearing our ancestoral us that this practice of dance and mindful movement will only enhance our experience in the human realm .
