Mitote

There are four Pillars of the Dance Practice of Mitote:



There are 4 factors:

Decolonization, House of Light, Elders.
Fierceness, embodiment of self&wholeness, Men.
Breath, play/innovation, Children.
Boundless Creation, Divinity, Women.



The Technique of Mitote, the training, as I see it, is Vindiction:

Conviction--with all power, with passion, in strength
Vindication--to prove, to create, to empower
Vindictive--to get back, to fight, to resist

• Voguing--fierceness, space, pose, poise, lovely luscious self
• Cunningham--clean movement, anti-exaggeration, abstracted movement, the body's full power/range, mind body exhilaration and challenge.
• Aztec--traditionalism, mathmatics, logic, prayer, the world, 4 directions, sacred, commmunitas, kinesthesia,
• Contact Improv--Improvisation, proprioception, kinesthesia, senses, contact, weight, self and group somatics.

House of Light:

• Decolonization
• Re-birth
• Re-Integration
• Individuality
• Communitas
