Caitlin Morgan is a Burlington-based creative with roots in the Midwest and NYC, interested in flow-state embodiment as a means of eliciting nuanced, collective understanding and alchemical impact. She currently performs with ANIMALDance, facilitates dance and yoga classes for adults and teens, and subsumes herself in a perpetual state of research for new choreography, commonly inspired by ecosomatics, communication theories, and postmodernism.

A note on ecosomatics…

The study of ecosomatics explores the relationship between mind, body, and environment, under the belief that by deepening our sense of embodiment through mindful movement, we tune into a greater ecological consciousness, and so bear a positive influence over (and a greater sense of empathy for) the world around us.

My two greatest passions in life are movement and environmentalism. I was the child on the playground babbling on about the perils of acid rain, or dancing in the grass behind my home to the tune of my grandpa’s gardening shears. When I discovered ecosomatics as a field, it validated what I always felt to be true: that deep care for nature and mind/body discipline are inherently connected. This philosophy continuously informs and motivates my approach to dance and the healing arts. I strongly believe that the path toward greater harmony — with our climate, our resources, and each other — begins with the body in motion, and the mind in flow.
