SUMMARY
This Very Moment braids threads of Barbara Dilley’s memoir in and out of a handbook for classroom practices of dance, movement improvisation, and composition developed at Naropa University over the past 40 years. The influence of her study and practice of Tibetan Buddhist meditation with Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche provides language, metaphor, and insight into the engaging of body mind in the same field of attention. The book is designed to go into the studio and classroom, and to have notes made in margins.
