Margherita

Margherita (@mrghyseye) is an embodiment enthusiast, a dancer, a perpetual learner, and a subtle disruptor.

In rope for over a decade, her practice expanded drastically in 2019, and gradually became an integrated element of her somatic work.

Besides rope, her work involves teaching a variety of movement and mindfulness techniques in correctional facilities, substance abuse disorder treatment programs, and private settings specializing in individuals dealing with PTSD, addiction, EDs, and other mind-body complexities. She also serves as a guest lecturer on embodiment and trauma at colleges and universities, while actively engaging in scientific research on the effect of embodiment work on addiction and recovery.

Her passion lies in creating spaces for exploring embodiment, discomfort, and marginalized experiences, finding growth through catharsis and integration via somatic practices leading to liberation, such as stillness, yoga, dance, Butoh, rope, hook suspensions, and laughter.

Her mission in sharing information and experiences with others is to soften the dichotomy between body and mind and investigate visceral sensations to create emotional resilience through movement, curiosity, dialogue, and play.

You may catch her performing with Sokolow/Theatre Dance Ensemble, Vangeline Theater, Dances We Dance, and as an independent artist, or at Temple, in Brooklyn, rolling in rope.
