Life carries the potential to shock and excite me and whether traditional or controversial, if it offers compassion I find a reason to appreciate its beauty.
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>James Koroni</strong> creator of <strong>Enforced Arch</strong> would like to inspire the dance community to ask hypothetically, “What does it mean to be in forced arch?” What potential does this powerful position have? Literally we arrive on our toes, yet bent at the knees and think, “should I leave it at that or challenge why the hell I’ve arrived here?” We hear our mentors ask us to be intelligent dancers and choreographers but what does that mean? How does one become an intelligent communicator? By using our unique talents we can bring life to ecological & social issues and create respect and compassion for all living things. James Koroni is a dancer, choreographer, singer, ceramicist and vegan. Enforced Arch is a blog for the intelligent dancer who seeks movements in which we can enforce how we utilize our position of being “in forced arch.”</p><p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/JamesKoroni"><br></a></p><p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/JamesKoroni">He </a>studied at ‘<a href="http://www.edgepac.com/">The Edge</a>,’ ‘<a href="http://www.broadwaydancecenter.com/">Broadway Dance Center</a>‘ and Santa Monica College.
