What happens when 5 dancers go through an awareness process to explore their current
dreams, moods, body symptoms, childhood dreams, and their personal edges to the unknown? How does dance get created out of this dreaming process of the body? What dream is unfolding in you right now? How are you already dancing it?

The Dreamfigures’ Ball is a creative project in fulfillment of the final project requirements for my completion of a Diploma and Master of Arts in Process Work from the Process Work Institute of Portland, Oregon. This project culminated in a performance piece with five dancers shown at Sugar Space in Salt Lake City, Utah, on Friday, April 10, 2009, along with an audience question and answer session which I hosted, and a process demonstration which I facilitated. A DVD recording of the performance/presentation accompanies this contextual essay.
