About the Facilitator: Brian Kimmel has rooted in the performing arts for more than twenty years. From a largely solo career as a piano pop / new age artist he has recently welcomed the inspiration for ensemble work in improvisational dance. In the movement laboratory he merges his two passions: simple movements and mindfulness to help participants discover what he calls an embodied sense of wakefulness. In deep play as taught in the lineage of his teacher, experimental dancer and master improviser, Barbara Dilley, he helps inspire participants of all ages to find wholeness through experiments with their own movement repertoire, and in witnessing others. He is a student at Naropa University and hopes to one day complete a degree in Somatic Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Dance Therapy.
