<p><span style="font-size: 14px;">Kristen Stake, lead artist in Portalnd, ME-based dance company Imaginary Island, will participate in Kim Krans' "The Infinite Dream" workshop to advance a new evening-length work "Deep Time." This 4-week online course in dreamwork–combining Jungian psychology, mysticism, and art-making as ritual–will provide tools for accessing timeless states of consciousness and ancient wisdom central to themes of Deep Time. Kristen Stake will then integrate these methods into the choreographic process of Deep Time, leading the company in harnessing active imagination and dream imagery to develop somatic research and movement vocabulary.</span></p>
