I had been terrified of doing "free form" or "improv" movement of any kind. Maria suggested it might help if I close my eyes and simply feel the music. Wow! I was feeling the music, and my body somehow felt so free! It became so easy and the body responded naturally to the music, without any inner critic!
I always knew, as a singer, that my voice was my instrument, but I realized actually my Body is my instrument! I had an emotional response to this, it felt so wonderful.
Thank you for gently pushing me, Maria!
