Saturday, September 14: Dance As Collective Liberation
This is the first in a series of workshops on how dance can build towards collective liberation and revolutionary communities. We intend to co-create a space to explore, process and integrate meaningful experiences of dance and movement (all are welcome, from ecstatic dance to raving and beyond).
Together, we will reflect on movement/dance as a restorative and revolutionary healing tool that ripples from the individual to the collective. This workshop will include a grounding movement and reflection on the somatic connections between identity, bodily autonomy, dance/movement and collective liberation. We will also discuss how we can center the values of decolonization and the dismantling of white and other forms of supremacy through our relationships with dance, ourselves, each other, and society at large.
$28.52. 3 to 5 PM. 119 Knickerbocker Ave. Info here.
