Tribal Dance & Healing Chants:
Short for “The Kinetic Voice,” KiVoTM is a movement form that includes the voice. It is music therapy and dance instruction rolled into one.
With the aim of recalibrating and purifying the body, mind, emotions & spirit, KiVoTM is good exercise and a lot of fun! At the core is tribal and shamanic ceremony where song and dance are both spiritual practice and celebration. For millennia, births, marriages, deaths, the harvest, the hunt, the seasons and the cycles of life or rites of passage, have been celebrated through sound & movement. KiVoTM provides a forum in our contemporary, technological world to do this.
Ms. Addison writes music for KiVo which incorporates the specific chants and tones used with the dance, like Vocal Chakra Healing Tones (VoCHeTTM) and Body Chants.
Dance forms include African, Indigenous, Latin, Yoga, Classical Western Dance, Shaking Medicine & Improvisation, often done in a circle.
The voice is used as an instrument of expression, healing, musicality and community building. Vocal percussion, toning, clapping and laughter are part of KiVo. We raise our voices together sharing beats and off beats. We resonate as a single unit or as an integrated unit.
The WHOLE being participates!
Come and join us and feel for yourself, how this new/old spiritual practice lifts the spirit and purifies the body and mind!
