Open both to students and the public, this course, entitled Music Meditations in Motion, encouraged participants to explore a wide range of guided and intuitive physical movements in response to improvised piano and percussion music performed by Amanta Scott.
The music took participants through a spectrum of moods: from quiet solitudes to earthy tribal rhythms and chanting; and through passionate outpourings to ethereal meditations.This course was extremely popular with working professionals, specifically psychotherapists and doctors.

Keyboards
Caravan Stage Company
(see also Director)
For six months Amanta toured the west coast of Canada by horse-drawn coach and wagon, as Keyboardist/ Musical Director with the Caravan Stage Company. In addition to the music Amanta enjoyed living on the road as a gypsy, a return to her own gypsy heritage. She particularly loved working with and attending to the enormous Clydesdale horses. For Amanta, riding outrider - bareback on the Arabian and light horses, with the wind racing through her hair - called to the wild nature of her soul.
