This is just wonderful. I really appreciate seeing this vibrant woman. And I love the approach, with which I am familiar, of working with the body from the inside out, and, using art, in addition. I needed this reminder tonight. Thanks so much.

Anna Halprins is so inspiring for dancers. And by dancers, I mean anyone.

I LOVE Anna Halprin. I am a professional musician, and one of my favorite memories is when I got to accompany a weekend workshop with her. Such deep and meaningful work.

This woman is 85......no way.....I wanna know her self perservation techniques. If dancing is it.....I'm gonna dance my ass off. The elders in their rocking chairs re-mind me of a form of dancing tai chi.

Anna Halprin is reallly something to behold. Thank You KQED for sharing this.

She reminds me of the late Jill Austin from Master Potter Ministries.
