World Premiere of "while I was homegrowing"

World Premiere of "while I was homegrowing"

Join us for the world premiere of the full length work, while I was homegrowing. This movement quartet uses dance to explore a process of memory excavation during conversations with Lucia's father about his mother, who she never met, and seeks to unpack how her memory has become embodied in fabric and bones. The artists are enthralled with the process of recreating her in memories that we do not tangibly possess. The memory work unravels into a deep pool of ancestors, both living and past, that our bodies carries around; We ache to know these ancestors inside us, and honor them.

Authentic Movement and Memoir Writing

Authentic Movement and Memoir Writing

Authentic Movement, incorporates movement to promote self-exploration and improved mental health. In Authentic Movement, participants are encouraged to focus their attention on the present and act out their inner emotions through improvised dance movements while keeping their eyes closed in order to reduce distractions. In Memoir Writing we are asked to dig into our past and write about those experiences that have had lasting impact on our own lives and express these memories in writing.

Pandemic Passages: Monthly Workshop

Pandemic Passages: Monthly Workshop

In this series of monthly virtual gatherings, we will explore the landscape of our Pandemic lives, and open the unexpected gifts, as well as the sadnesses, the letting go, the longing, the missing.

Since the winter of 2020 we all have been living with at least an undercurrent of stress from the Covid-19 Pandemic. For some, it has changed life radically, whether or not you or a loved one has contracted the virus. Working, shopping, all aspects of our lives have been altered. Just as we thought we could relax our guard, the Delta Variant swept in.
