Dancing Your Grief Away? Why Not?

I had mentioned in one of my previous posts on how staying in motion -- such as exercising -- can help deal with the worst aspects of grief.  Well, it looks like the whole concept has been taken to a new level.  Over at Good News Network, there's a new story: "Dance Away Your Tears With This 'Grief Disco Kiosk'."  The story profiles British artist Anna Nicholson, who is collaborating with several different organizations, to convert old European-style K67 kiosks into places where people can express their grief through the medium of dance.  According to the article, "there’ll be meditation and yoga workshops, dance classes, and “grief raves” where clubbers can request tracks that remind them of absent or lost loved ones."  Nicholson is no stranger to grief, after losing her mother, sister, and sister's partner in a helicopter crash, and her father a few years later to cancer.  A few years earlier, Nicholson was involved in another creative venture, using an ice cream truck to entice people to show up for some sweet treats as well as providing a venue for discussing their issues with grief and loss.  It all goes to show that even amidst our grief, there is still a lot of room for being creative and reaching out to others!
