Reflect inward and process outward in this meditative dance workshop series led by Click collaborator Angelina Benitez
About this Event

Come to reflect inward and process outward. These expressive dance workshops will include meditation, guided discussion, physical exploration, and an opportunity to create collaborative dance work to be performed as a prequel to the related professional dance piece My Guide to Feeling It All by Angelina Benitez.

In this series, we invite families to work and create together, facilitating conversation and reflection among and between family members and family units. Together, in each workshop, we will use meditation, writing, and movement exercises that encourage individuals to reflect on identity and the wide range of emotions such exploration can invoke. These exercises mimic tools that were used to create My Guide to Feeling It All, an approximately-30 minute work that embodies the contradictions that make up the human experience, including the intersection of shame and pride, love and grief, and anxiety and excitement. As a queer latinx artist, Benitez weaves themes of identity and self-acceptance into the narrative of the professional work; these themes, too, will be explored in the workshops.

We believe that establishing safe spaces in the home to explore and accept one's vulnerability and identity is a primary building block to creating more empathetic, compassionate, and healthy communities in the larger society. Join us in movement and reflection to enhance trust and understanding in your family, while having some fun along the way!

All bodies, all ages, and levels of movement experience are welcome. Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.


This workshop is made possible by the Mayor's Office of Cultural Affairs Community Building Mini Grant program.


About the Facilitator:

ANGELINA BENITEZ graduated from Salem State University with a B.A in both Modern/Contemporary Dance and has since studied at Bates Dance Festival and continues to study with local Boston-based artists. Her choreography at Salem State was presented at Boston's American College Dance Association Conference and earned her a Presidential Arts Scholarship and a Creativity Award in Dance. Angie has immersed herself in teaching dance in the Greater Boston area at local studios, schools, and residencies. Her recent performance experience includes local arts festivals and events such as Verse / Visual, 24 Hour ChoreoFest, Salem Arts Festival, Art Walk with Luminarium, and more. Much of her work is focused on collaboration. When she's not teaching dance, you can find her working as a social media strategist, creating fiber art, and taking pole dance classes.

About My Guide to Feeling It All:

We spend time trying to escape, control, or even understand emotions. What if instead of hiding from feelings, we invited them in? In this 30min contemporary dance work, a trio of movers will embody the seemingly contradictive. Let's explore the intersection of shame and pride, love and grief, anxiety and excitement. My Guide to Feeling It All will be performed following the final workshop of this series on December 1, 2024

About The Click:

Developed in 2021, The Click is a collaborative dance company and creative collective in Greater Boston. Its members are dancers whose primary medium of physical expression is through contemporary dance forms, but who experiment in many modes and genres of creativity. As a collective, The Click’s members are each deeply invested in answering the universally complex question: who am I and what am I doing here?

The Click contributes to the consistent presence of creativity in Boston and beyond in several ways: by educating pre-professional youth dancers, professional adult dancers and the dance-curious of any age; performing original creations several times a year at traditional and non-traditional venues across Massachusetts, New England and beyond; and by investing in the curiosity of those new to dance in Boston or new to dance in general by maintaining an open, inclusive and accessible community.
