The Accordion Fan/Walk is a simple yet powerful movement-meditation using our own breathing and the breath and sound of toy accordions. The only requirements for participation are that you enjoy listening and walking/moving with awareness. The walk is slow and has the quality of a stalking animal.
You DO NOT have to have any dance or music training; but of course all artists of all disciplines are welcome. People from all "walks" of life are encouraged to join us.
