With my roots in the arts, namely music and dance, I was always looking for something meaningful to share through my art. The longer I looked for meaning, the more I came to learn how meaning is, in itself, nothing more than a way of looking. I say now 'looking' - I could also say 'connecting'. Meaning is a connection. The better I become at being aware of how I'm looking, and finding new ways of looking, or connecting, the more fortuitously vague seem to me such distinctions as art, science, and business... We are all capable, in the end, of tuning our perspective to those wonderful spaces where two previously 'separate' things suddenly have everything in the world to do with each other.
Dylan Newcomb trained at the Juilliard School in both dance and music composition, after which he danced for eight seasons with the Netherlands Dance Theater. For the past eight years, he has been choreographing and composing his own work, largely through the Korzo Theater in Den Haag. He has won several major Dutch awards, including the Lucas Hoving production prize, the Silver Dance Prize, and the Phillip Morris Prize. Newcomb’s choreographies, from solos to large group works, have been shown throughout Europe and America. A long time practitioner of Buddhist meditation and several styles of Yoga, he has recently become certified in Psychological Kinesiology and established a private practice as an Energy Psychologist, assisting people in resolving personal issues on the mental-emotional level. Over past several years, he has been researching and developing new ways to blend dance training with Yin-Yang Theory, Energy Psychology, MBTI Typology, with contemporary Integral Theory (Ken Wilber et al) and Spiral Dynamics (Clare Graves) in the form of new conceptual models and trainings for both the arts and business worlds. He teaches a full mind-body approach to dancing and choreographing at the Artez and Codarts Conservatories in Arnhem and Rotterdam in Holland, as well as in international workshops.
