Meet the ITB band! Since the start of ITB in 2015, ITB has featured many great musicians in the search for the core group, and these guys have become the solid foundation of what ITB is all about. Live, Improvised music with a wide range of stylistic exploration! A huge thank you to @michael_sgarlata ,@edwin_gomez_mp, and @jessewardmusic23 for showing up every month and offering your life long cultivated talents so we can move our bodies freely to the living vibrations in each moment. Live music is the only real music, and it is an absolute treat to witness the creativity you all bring to this event. Deep bow brothers. You have made ITB what it is today. Thank you for trusting in this social experiment of building a band atop of the ED community. May this experiment continue to evolve and serve all those who desire a ceremonial container for radical expressions. Song and dance lead the way. Cultivation of presence is growing, may togetherness prevail. #liveimprovisedmusic #ecstaticdance #improvisedmusic #contactimprovisation #worldmusic by @ignitethebodyhtx

Dance is the key. Shake those hips. Jump and roll, let the music take control. Mind does still and body builds trust, uncover this love, shake off that rust.. All babies dance.. remember again the power of free form movement. taken in The Interchange by @ignitethebodyhtx

" I prefer Brave containers over safe containers" is 100% safety actually possible? We say no, it's not. Therefore we are called to be brave in all we do, to learn how to engage through risk, in the reality we are facing. In a world where COMFORT has become one of the highest principles of our daily living. We are called to rescue again, the brave wild heart. May the Courageous lion roar in your chest. #ecstaticdancehouston #contactimprovisation #freeformmovement #consciousnightlife #ecstaticdance by @ignitethebodyhtx

When it rains, go get wet. Go play. Explore. Rescue innocence once again, in tiny moments of trust in this intuition towards love.. by @ignitethebodyhtx

Friday is that time again. A time to gather and dance freely. To let the body speak it's wild, unpredictable and yet nuanced language of creative expression. Please join us for another ITB, a space where we can dance and be wild without the reliance on substances. At this event, the dance is the consciousness altering substance. The dance is our practice to bring forth connectivity between heart mind and will. The dance guides us deeper, each moment into presence, emptiness, and yet fullness. Always, live and improvised music will lead the way, from talented and creative souls Michael Sgarlata, Edwin Gomez, Jesse Ward, and Ybub Levi. taken in The Interchange by @ignitethebodyhtx
