Melanie Lien PalmCurrently: Body Wisdom LLC as owner, practitioner, instructor, presenter, perpetual student (I would LOVE to offer a 6 hour class of BodyTalk Access and/or a 1.5 hour class of EmotionalResolution for DANCERS! I’d be combining my love of dance with my love of energy medicine. BodyTalk is very helpful in operating at peak performance, preventing and recovering more quickly from injuries, and reconnecting lines of communication within your body. EmRes is very helpful in resolving emotional upset within 60 seconds. Contact me if you’re interested in coordinating a class for a group either in-person or on Zoom.) www.BodyWisdomMelaniePalm.comCurrent certificates: Advanced BodyTalk and PaRama Practitioner, BodyTalk Access and MindScape Instructor, HelioSol Practitioner, Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy and International Yoga Therapist, Emotional Resolution Practitioner and Instructor, ElectroDermal Stress Analysis, Holistic Health PractitionerHomeschool: Founded, owned, administered and taught in Sunrise School serving infant through 2 nd grade, combining Montessori, Waldorf, Peacemaking and Creative Arts ~ 5 years Homeschooled our children and other’s children ~ 10 yearsPresented at several homeschool workshops and wrote articles for international magazines Dance Performance: Pina Bausch Tanztheater Wuppertal ~6+ years in ‘80’s touring in 11 countries, performing in 13 pieces, involved in creation of 3 piecesWild Space, U Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Minnesota Dance Theater, Black Hills Dance Theater, U of Utah, Creighton U, Omaha Opera Ballet, Academy of Dance, amongst othersTeaching and Choreographing: Various Universities ~ 7 yearsUniversity of Wisconsin Milwaukee ~ 2 years full timeGuest residencies at Creighton U, South Dakota State, North Carolina – Greensboro, New York U Tisch School of the Arts, U of Montana, Vassar, Northwestern, amongst othersPublic School residencies through NY and SD Artist-In-Schools K-12 ~ 15 yearsVarious dance schools and companies ~ 15 years including Johanna Meier’s Opera workshops, Wild Space Dance Co WI, CoDanceCo NY, Dance Masters of WI, Montana Dance Arts, MidAmerica Dance Network, MN Dance Alliance, Dahl Fine Arts SD, “I Have a Dream” Program for Underprivileged Children NY, Lind Dance, Abbot Hospital for Emotionally Disturbed Children, Young Audiences MDT, SD School for Visually Impaired, amongst othersNumerous Panels and Adjudication, Recipient of GrantsInterests: People, nature, languages, joy, inspiration, gratitude
