“Out of silence emerges sound. Out of stillness arises movement.

May I draw up my words from a deep well of silence. May my dance flow outwards from a centre of stillness.

In an over-loud world, may words awaken souls from their slumbers to follow their own truths.

In an over-restless world, may dance release hearts from their wounds so they shine more brightly.

Maybe then the noise and chaos of this world will evolve into harmony.”

Amanda is a writer, dancer and teacher.

Her factual writing includes blog posts, reports and articles about marine conservationists. Her experimental fictional writing draws on psychological and spiritual themes to form blog posts and short stories. (See Amanda’s Blog and Stories on Becoming.)

She is a contemporary dancer and teacher, whose teaching embraces aspects of Rudolph Laban’s spatial forms to create a harmonising movement practice for adults, children, non-dancers and dancers alike. (See Chorós-Harmonía.)
