Thomas Arthur

Thomas Arthur is a performing and visual artist working to nourish the creativity of leaders from all sectors. A graduate of the 1991 Feldenkrais Method professional training program in movement awareness, Thomas teaches fun and effective methods to explore the interface of chaos and order. Collaborating with individuals and groups, Thomas opens space for new possibilities in moving forward with spontaneity, precision and presence.

In performance Thomas integrates choreographed juggling routines with projected imagery and film of water, wind, wood, fire and stone. His current work-in-progress, earthanima, invites participants to interpret a series of photos to deepen an imaginal connection to the animate energies of our planet. Based in Seattle, his 25 year performance career has brought his dance of orbiting objects to audiences around the world, from New York to New Zealand, from Austin to Australia. He has performed as an opening act for Jay Leno, Jerry Seinfeld, Arlo Guthrie, Paula Poundstone, Sid Caesar and many others. His collaboration with musician Paul Ely Smith has received grant support from the Seattle Arts Commission, 4Culture of King County, and Artist Trust of Washington.
