How do you go beyond enduring pain and turn it instead into a transformative artistic experience? Casey and Elicia are the powerhouse behind Sensory Dimensions, a creative collaborative that recontextualizes experiences of chronic pain and disability through music, movement, projection, and tactile art. Their work asks what happens when pain is pushed beyond the silent tragedy of the clinical setting and given new ways to be seen, heard, and felt. Both Casey and Elicia came to the project through deeply personal experiences with chronic pain. Elicia has trained as a violinist for more than 20 years. At 17, ankylosing spondylitis forced her to reconsider her artistic future. Years of pain, unsuccessful physical therapy, and medical dismissal eventually led to a diagnosis that brought both relief and fear. Casey’s path through dance was repeatedly disrupted by severe muscle spasms, undiagnosed injuries, and other overlapping symptoms that did not fit neatly into a single diagnosis. Eventually, they were diagnosed with fibromyalgia and hypermobility. Trying to remain in the world of performance while navigating disability pushed them both to explore other avenues to art, including choreography, production, and accessibility work. In this episode, Jesse speaks with Casey and Elicia about how their connection to someone with a similar experience changed their approach to their work and bodies. Since collaborating on their masters’ thesis, they have built immersive, inclusive performances, and interactive programs like Paint Your Pain. On stage, they turn pain into sensations that everyone can experience, regardless of disability or predilection. Accessibility is embedded from the beginning: for instance, if an audience member cannot see an element, they may be able to hear or touch it instead.  #chronicillness #chronicpain #liveperformace #ankylosingspondylitis #hypermobility

Dance is such a powerful tool for processing and expression. Especially what has no words. But maybe just a posture. Or a direction. Or pattern. Or a combination of these things. The truth is, “Get out of your head and into your body” is incomplete AND we know what we mean. Which is to practice moving our bodies from a whole - integrated state. Rather than JUST our typical thinking state. Tap into your body’s innate wisdom through “The Dance” this Friday with @meeshthehuman !✨ 🪩☀️🪩☀️🪩☀️🪩☀️🪩☀️🪩☀️ SURYASOUL (open level) Friday, Sep 11 from 6:30 - 8pm 1100 Kettner Blvd. San Diego, CA 🪩 Tiered donation-based RSVP at the link in bio or visit discoriot.org 🪩☀️🪩☀️🪩☀️🪩☀️🪩☀️🪩☀️ #discoriot #suryasoulsandiego #shakeandvibrate #sandiegodanceclass suryasoul

This seems like a really good time to remind us all, that Hope - is a practice. Hope is something that is created, not believed in. WE MAKE hope, by doing things in the world, putting things into the world, that make us hopeful. We PROVE hope to ourselves, by planting gardens, and making things, and building things, and birthing things. We FEEL hope, together. . I’m so grateful to everyone who was a part of this film in anyway. Obviously the genius’s behind @earthbased.media — @summit.earth also produced the sound and it would not be what it is, without it. . But to the dancers. Every single effing dancer. THANK YOU - for moving when it can be so hard to move, for your training, for your housing of intelligence in your body to pass along to the next generation, for holding me and creating the dancer i am through all of your dances from near and far. Special shoutout to these incredible dancers of life. . @megancuret @thedivinedance @milana_aernova @caseythebug @_lordofbees @marty.dorado3.0 @earthyalli @travelingbygroove @natalieunherd @camillerungee @audworld_ @toddance @cloudmonstr @morganmaster @laurenurie @jessicat_kittycatpurr @cantcatchfletch

Happy Disability Pride Month! It has been a few months since we performed My Body’s Wake at @lajollaplayhouse #wowfestival! We are so greatful for everyone who attended and overjoyed by the response to the work. Thank you to all of the disabled artists and activists who carved the path. Thank you to all of the amazing humans supporting us. And thank you thank you thank you to our disabled community! Lighting Design by @taylorolsonlighting Photo by @hanatobias [image description] a moment from My Body’s Wake. Under warm amber lighting, a dancer crouches shirtless with chest tape and body paint. They gaze upward with tension in their shoulders and their arm extended to the side. A woman in a black dress stands behind the dancer plucking her violin strings. Her bow points toward the top of the dancers head.
