BODY ART MOTION (BAM)
Body Art Motion is a school for movement and mystery studies. Similar to a yoga or martial arts system, a spiritual purpose underlies our dance practice and performances. Our classes are open to all humans with any level of experience who desire to exercise their body in a way that includes mind, heart and spirit.
We tell stories through fusion movement arts, myth, tarot and astrology. Our Conjure Motion style is consciously created to travel the tree of life while sourcing inspiration from dance, music, mystery and ritual. Embodying a diverse and ancient language of celestial symbols, our movement influences are full spectrum from the Middle East, North & West Africa, Polynesia, and India – as well as modern dance, martial arts, yoga and EDM subculture.
Body Art Motion (BAM) was established in 1998 by Tanya Lee and through its years of growth, the BAM community has always helped to shape the vision and the work. BAM aims to bridge ancient practices with modern lifestyles by aligning with the inherent magic found in natural rhythms. We support this mission by offering in-person and online classes, events and performance opportunities. With the support, feedback and love of our community, this body of work continues to evolve towards a collective need.
CONJURE MOTION
A nature inspired fusion dance format that explores ancient sciences, western mystery tradition, astrology and tarot and then weaves it into logical practices inspired by the techniques found in global folkloric dances, yoga, martial arts, and other movement disciplines. All levels of experience, all bodies, and all genders are welcomed.
WITCHY WOMAN
All genders welcome. Explore the universal language of life force energy, tides of the moon, and patterns of nature through the seasons. Feel supported in a like-minded community as you connect with the language of symbols through astrology and tarot to explore the balance between the seen and the unseen. Discover for yourself what is relevant and effective for your life.
PERFORMANCE ART
This is where we deepen our studies by nurturing the art of storytelling. Explore your imagination, sharpen your focus, and relax into a flow state that transforms your vessel into a channel for your inherent ancestral nature. Study character development, costuming, movement and emotive. Develop a connection with a receptive audience through archetypal and conceptual embodiment.
