Embodying The Elements: Exploring Nature with Movement

Through dance and movement, we will listen to ourselves, actively reflect on our relationship to nature, and embody various natural elements: roots, water, fire, trees etc.

You will be guided by Sisi SoulShine of Soul Shine Theater Garden while also having the space to generate your own unique movements through practices of self consent, boundaries, and improvisation. You do not need any previous dance experience, only the desire to explore, learn, dance, and the commitment to connect to your body. While in shared space, we will celebrate each other and embody play and joy as ways of collective liberation.

Tickets are not required for particiaption, but an optional way for you to RSVP <3
