Monday, February 28, 2022 from 5-8:30pm
at Los Angeles Music and Arts School // 3630 E. 3rd Street Los Angeles 90063
In this workshop / session, we will set a personal intention for our practice together that will collectively invite in the potency of our desires, erotic potential, and dreams into the center of our space. Our bodies are our compass and we will tune, listen, confide in and with stillness, and from this sacred place allow what needs to happen to unfold. Technically speaking, we will move between healing circle orientations, club dancing and improvisational scores, and some distillations from biodynamic craniosacral therapy remixed with my own choreographic curanderx and divination practices.
No previous movement experience is required. All that is asked is that you show up ready to receive and engage reciprocally with yourself and those in the space.
Please bring a journal, something to write with, a vessel for water, comfortable clothes to dance / move in, a pillow and blanket, and anything else that you might need to feel cozy.
