Mud Fun: A Dance for Freedom and Security

Mud Fun: A dance for freedom and security.

For all ages. Bring the truth of your age.

Roles: Audience, music ensemble and barefoot mud dancers.

Musicians bring acoustic instruments, dancers bring your bare-feet and audience bring your chairs.

Participants will re-learn an innate shelter creation dance which is pleasing to the soul, and offers a window to a freedom and security that has been relegated to the outer limits of our imagination. We will rekindle our innate understanding of shelter in its pure sense, an expression of generosity and play.

The Mud Fun Musical Mud stomp is a dance which creates physical structures that protect against the natural elements as well as the unnatural elements of inter-generational debts and bills and the hamster wheel behind them. In our family backyard is the prototype of this regenerative shelter structure that only gives without taking, inspired by the miraculous giving gift of the womb. The high performance qualities of the walls of this structure are solid proof that this dance and the ethos behind it has the power to protect us and free us all from the rising costs of modern industrial shelter which are not only financial, but also physical, social, emotional, mental, spiritual and environmental. In the same way that eating food grown in the backyard or at a community garden feels as good as the process of growing it, the process of festive earthen masonry wall building and sculpting (the dance) feels as good as sleeping behind its big fat generous, health-emitting, cosy walls that are debt free and bill free.

This dance returns shelter to its purest most basic roots and provides a profound sense of freedom and security the likes of which we have not seen in a long time.
