faculty in dance at Lane Community College in Eugene, Oregon. Bonnie
teaches dance, yoga, and Continuum; and an active choreographer and
performer. She has created over 20 original dance works performed
nationally and in Germany and Indonesia. Her recent choreographic works
explore nature, emotion, and time; and are deeply influenced by her work
with Continuum.
Bonnie has taught Yoga and dance for 15 years, developed and taught a
movement practice "Individual Movement Art", "Dancing in Nature", and
"Dancing by the Sea". She is currently exploring the relationship
between Continuum and Yoga, dance, and the creative process.
Her explorations into the potency of movement and its healing potentials
have led her around the world to study Balinese dance in Bali, Pribadi
Art with Buddhist movement master Suprapto Suryodarmo in Java, and Yoga
and singing in India. Closer to home and to her heart, she found
Continuum Movement first with Beth Pettengil-Riley and then with Emilie
Conrad. Bonnie took a three month sabbatical to study intensely in
spring of 2004 with Emilie and several collaborator to finish her
training and certification.
