I took these photographs to show the calming ritual at the beginning of an Over The Moon Dance Class. This Centering practice prepares the dancers for the mind body connection and focus that is integral to yoga and creative dance.

‘Photography is ‘drawing with light’ and although I began my life as an artist, I became obsessed with recording the world around me with a camera, capturing moments when I felt blessed with the way light fell.’ Katherine Seppings

I am one of ten Cafe Poets who will read a poem inspired by food or coffee or the Cafe Poet experience at The Commons Food Festival, corner of Montague and Bank Streets, South Melbourne, this Sunday March 4 at 11am.
As part of Australian Poetry’s Café Poet program, I am poet-in-residence at The Maurocco Bar, Castlemaine. For the next six months I will be at The Maurocco Bar every Friday afternoon, writing, and aim to be workshopping with poets – from Castlemaine, Bendigo and Melbourne – and discussing ideas about sharing creative work with the community. I am keen to organize more opportunities for local poets to be heard at this inspiring venue.
Please drop into The Maurocco Bar, the wine bar and coffee shop at 4 Templeton Street, Castlemaine, any Friday afternoon, to share your poems and ideas about poetry with me.
I’d like to share this YouTube video with you. I have assisted in a preschool dance class at Over The Moon Dance Studio, Castlemaine, for the past decade. I love to dance and I love to encourage dance. Participating in yoga and dance has been one of the healthiest and happiest experiences in my life. It was a privelege to photograph these children. Thank you Edna
This slideshow demonstrates the children in a class with Edna Reinhardt doing yoga together, doing a quiet design activity, being inspired by beautiful music and improvising their own dance. Ties are snakes, boxes are telephones, scarves are birds. Anything goes!
