05/11/2025

Cranio has fed into my dance life and vice versa❤️🙌🏽🙏🏽

A rollercoaster of a week, a lot of learning, steps, words, songs, lessons!

The body keeps the score - JOY!!!💃❤

Every time I stand up, my body sounds like a Spanish flamenco dancers castanets, clacking away.

BUT! The body does keep the score indeed!

The muscle memory, built in from 35 years of training. From pounding repetition, sweating from every pore, from every contraction of Graham delight.

My body has been finely tuned, and although it doesn’t jump, leap and throw itself around as spritely as it once did, a deeper understanding and connection with performance, through presence, has taken over.

Must be all that Cranio - innit😜

The show is this Thursday at BD Arts Centre

Come buy me a bottle of Arnica massage oil after the show 🤣🙏

A haven of peace- JOY❤️🙏🏽🙌🏽

I’ve had a challenging 2 weeks!

Daily dance rehearsals, getting myself back in shape, learning text, forgetting text, having a proper wobble on Thursday.

It’s been emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually exhausting🤣💃🏽😢🙏🏽🫩

Today I took myself down to The Aya Practice. I made a brew, smudged with Palo Santo and sat with my script.

I had 2 hours of peace, quiet, soaking in the high vibrations of the room and being uplifted and grounded,by the energies.

I had time to collect my thoughts, then sit back and let the subconscious bubble up and bring forth creative ideas.

When life is busy and constantly demanding of you, The Aya Practice offers space where you can rest, relax and reconnect to that inner wisdom, that knowing and innate healing.

If you are intrigued about the practice of Craniosacral Therapy, and would like to try a session, please do drop me a line or call.

Happy World Vegan Day 🙌🏽🙏🏽🍆🍑🍌🍊🍎🌽🥕🥦🍅🥒

In 2018, my brother and I went vegan.

I made this tongue in cheek ditty for his 35th birthday.

Full video link in comments.

N.B -A toley is a Dundee word for a p**p!

N.B - I returned to an omnivore diet.

‘You’re going to,

Eat jackfruit, eat bean curd, tasty tofu,

Forevah.

Oh sing this vegan song!

Your going to,

Eat mushrooms, eat lentils, eat buckwheat, polenta.

This murder can’t go on!

All Meat’s Wrong!’

‘I wish I were a girl again, half-savage and hardy, and free’ Emily Brontë❤️🙌🏽🙏🏽 (from Kirgate display).

Today was a return to , to run wild and free in the warm up, to create, laugh and play, like the child in me loves to.

This is the pull back to dance, it’s in the DNA as .thorpe says, you can’t deny the pleasure it brings.

Connecting, learning, sharing, supporting, sweating and expressing🙌🏽❤️💃🏽

And the sheer gratitude I have for my body, still carrying me through, 35 years on, to ‘sweat my prayers’ and discover more of myself. JAH🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

And the love I have for Bradford, I send love and prayers for the city🙌🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
