Workshops
Relational Bodying: Outdoor Practice
This class was born out of my desire to move outdoors with other bodies—both human and more than human—as the days begin to grow colder and darker in Baltimore.
I will come to class with a general topic for embodied exploration, but the class will also be shaped by the needs, desires, and inquiries of both the participants and our surrounding environment.
Our time together will provide a space for you to learn about and listen with your whole body while in relationship with other humans and nature around us. Masks are required and we will practice social distancing.
We will often work within improvised structures where there is freedom to interpret prompts. We will allow dance to unravel and emerge. Our time together will emphasize resilience, personal agency, and care practices.
Cultivating Resonance: Body-based Practices
Developed with Sifu Sun, Facilitated by Matthew Williams and Peter Redgrave
Cultivating Resonance is a ten week virtual movement class. We will meet once a week, on Tuesdays from 6:30 – 8:00 PM Eastern Time via Rhizome DC. You may drop in a week at a time, or attend all sessions.
We practice movement as a tool to develop our capacity to tune-in to our own desires and realities. We welcome those who identify as dancers or performers, those who are just curious about their bodies, and those who simply want to move. This is a mixed level class for movers and dancers of all experience levels to learn and explore alongside one another. We honor the histories and experiences of all participants.
Each class, we arrive with a guided anatomy or perception based warm up. We invite participants to engage as much or as little as they would like with the screen, while we facilitate practices that direct intention through the body and explore the nuances of human anatomy. We regularly offer improvisational structures to practice choice making and awareness of our embodied habits. Throughout our time together, participants are invited to share their experiences and discoveries, which often shape the flow of the class.
