Ella Mesma Company
Embodied Alchemy
Ella Mesma Company offer a movement class which they call an Embodied Alchemy: MMMM Movement Meditation Mudra Mantra. This class marries Graham and Dunham contemporary techniques with elements of yoga and Cuban Contemporary, Afro Cuban, Afro Brazilian and other folkloric styles. The sequences (when not in lockdown) tend to move seamlessly in and out of the floor and can often be grounded, fluid and energetic. This is a movement class which is designed to move through the Orixás/Orishas/archetypes/chakras to release the emotions and stress and wake up our creativity. We describe the class as a morning movement ritual or mantra.
