FREE

My name is claire, and I am one of the organizers of Brown Girl Rise.  I am also a choreographer currently creating a performance with 6 youth and adult dancers.  I am offering a movement workshop to youth ages 12-25 where we will play with some of the themes and games of my upcoming project.  No previous dance experience necessary, just a willingness to move your body!

 

In this 1.5 hour workshop, we will explore how we can use dance and movement games to build radical group dynamics that help us imagine new ways of doing and being.  Through a series of somatic and improvisational activities, we’ll explore all these things: self- and co-regulation, agency and consent, and imaginative work.
 
 

KN95 Masks are required to be worn by all participants and facilitators at all times during this workshop. Please bring your own, or we will provide one for you.
