Saturday, November 9, 2024 | 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Within our minds and bodies lies an infinite library of stories, forms, actions, and states.

Together with artist and performer Boston Gallacher, we will explore this library and rewrite the narrative of our bodies. How? By opening up the spectrum of possibilities and erasing invisible boundaries, with the aim of decolonizing our perception of the world. We will discover the infinite capabilities of the dancing body without being overwhelmed by choices, but instead by observing, unlocking, and rebelling.

This is an open workshop where we welcome a variety of movers—from professionals to the simply curious—gathering at Drupa Centre to share a dancing moment in an atmosphere of intimacy and delicate energy.
