Everything in nature is marked by time, the pace and sequence of a harmonious and continuous movement that has gone on since time immemorial. Everything in nature is movement, life is the same: there is no life if there is no movement! The eternal
changing seasons, the perennial cycle of day and night, the staccato rhythm of life in all its forms. So also the man's body is permeated by the same dynamic: the heartbeat, the rhythm of the breath, the slightest movement of the viscera, every body seems to have its own rhythm and its own motion, the body lives in the same rhythm, in periods of sleep and wakefulness effort and rest.
The dance and movement arts, help us to get in tune with the inner rhythm of the body, with Life. For those working with the body and within the movement, it is important to know the rhythm within us, and note that the music does not create the rhythm but evokes our inner rhythm. As you move you can follow the rhythm of your breath, or satisfy the percussive rhythm of the music that resonates with the heart, the "visceral percussionist" for the duration of our lives takes time and evokes the mystique of the dance life: the heart of the mother feels the fetus in the womb before being born.
In archaic civilizations the rhythm of nature had a sacred character and was to celebrate life through dance: the dance expresses the cosmic rhythm, the circular time that takes place with the seasons.
