Although from a contemporary point of view, it would seem natural for the &ldquo;Soma&rdquo;&nbsp;(meaning &ldquo;living body&rdquo; or &ldquo;the body as perceived from within&rdquo;) to be a part of dance performance and dance education, this was not the case. The interweaving of somatic principles has changed the course of contemporary dance effecting artistic aesthetics, the sustainability of dancer&rsquo;s careers, injury rehabilitation and prevention. Performance: Mayya Amore Mayya Amore is a 20-minute solo dance piece, based on different developmental movements that unfold into spacial awareness and gestures. Archetypal energies guide Mayya Amore through the integration of old and new, internal and external, separating and connecting.
