Sift
Dance for Repair
Healing is a process of rediscovering what the body wants to share through somatic attunement and deep listening. By building relationship to bioenergetic currents, discoveries abound which demonstrate that life is a non-dual, complex, interconnected matrix of experience and therefore an ecological approach might suggest we remain curious and patient as we traverse the landscapes we inhabit.
About Sift
Sift stands for Somatic Intelligence for Trauma, and the practice is the culmination and articulation of my process as a dance artist and choreographer working in ecological and healing-centered pedagogy and praxis. It is a poetic approach to somatic potential and phenomena that fosters wellbeing and connection through guided improvisation. I teach weekly community Sifting classes in my home town as a catalyst for transformation and collective resilience. I also share Sift Dance Internationally as an educator and online in my Patreon studio The Hatchery.

“Morgan’s genius is revealed in every session of her SIFT classes. Her explanations, juxtapositions & invitations for movement allow me to go beyond the physical, to allow my movement to originate from the invisible deep, inviting me to belong in a world that is so solid yet so free. This is a dance class like no other you have taken before - SIFT dance is a conduit for the release of invisible stuck, hurt and constricting patterns. All of this is possible because Morgan creates a space of safety, acceptance and respect coupled with an invitation for us to challenge our perception of dance.”
