DEEP HISTORY

and archeaology is used to describe the
pre-historical human.
In innerdance, not just in respect of
the term Herstory (the narrative that
emphasises from the view of the feminine),
we prefer to use the words Deep Story to
account for the structural sameness in
early human developmental states in both
the individual and in that of the species.

come up in this work was found in neurology. We realised that cultural and linguistic patterns
