BODY ART MOTION (BAM)
Movement, Performance Art and Ritual Practices to Support Community Connection and Personal Expression.
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. The mission is rooted in love and aims to cultivate inclusive community that values the pursuit of self-knowledge and connection. 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 movement system for the purpose of connecting to spirit through ancient western mystery traditions, astrology and tarot. Designed with the Sigil Method of cued improvisation, the moves can be practiced solo or with friends. Diverse movements are influenced by global folkloric and modern fusion dances, as well as mixed martial arts, and electronic dance music culture. All levels of experience, all bodies, and all genders are welcomed.
WITCHY WOMAN
Explore the universal language of life force energy, tides of the cosmos, and patterns of nature through the seasons. Feel supported in a like-minded community as you align with the phases of the moon and planetary shifts. Connect with the language of symbols to find your personal divination and a balance between the seen and the unseen. Implement wisdom traditions our ancestors once used to develop systems for spiritual connection and growth. Discover for yourself what is still relevant and effective today.
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.
