For David Rancourt, dance artist and Qi Gong teacher, meeting Linda was a turning point; seeing her on stage helped him understand what he was searching for in dance: moving beyond form, seeking an organic quality and the integrity of body, heart, and mind. For David, the continuum opens our inner barriers and boundaries, allowing us to connect with life, the universe, and mystery. A rich and fascinating encounter.
