What is Tamalpa Life Art?
Since ancient times the power of dance, storytelling, painting and ritual have been used to reveal, heal and educate.
Tamalpa Life /Art ® is an internationally-recognized expressive arts approach developed by dancer Anna Halprin and therapist Daria Halprin at the Tamalpa Insititute, California.
Tamalpa combines movement, visual arts, performance techniques, creative writing and therapeutic practices to access the innate wisdom of the body and the transformative power of the imagination.
It is for those looking for an approach which is creative, dynamic and genuinely different; one which supports personal, interpersonal and social change and also teaches new models of health, education, psychology and art.

Is it any wonder
I pronounce myself in movement?
Enunciating imagination and emotion
With the language of the body
Articulating the all of me,
Bone by bone
Muscle by muscle
Breath by breath
Expressing
Embodying
What it is
I Know
