Journeys of the Heart

"Movement is the Essence of Life"
 

Dancing Earth founding artistic director Rulan Tangen says, "Being in motion makes us fully present and able to embody an imagined future." In her 2016 TED Talk Rulan describes her journey toward that embodiment, including a brush with death in 2003. "Before, I lived to dance, and now I dance to live."
