“Give back your heartto itself, to the stranger who has loved you
all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.”-- Derek Walcott, Excerpt from Love After Love
For this Moveshop we move with, for, and through the heart. Blending playful, embodied improvisation with experiential anatomy, we will explore devotional heart practices; how might we call ourselves back to the garden of our belonging, our vulnerability, and our true nature.
About Moveshops
Moveshops are in-person, movement-based gatherings exploring embodiment as a pathway to expression, connection, and freedom. Through guided solo and group experiential and improvisation-based practices, we cultivate an expansive and creative partnership with our breath, voice, and body. Moveshops are playful, body-positive, and meant for every body — no prior movement experience necessary. Each gathering is responsive to the group and follows a loose structure:
-Welcoming circle & theme introduction
-Experiential warm-up for the voice, breath, and body
-Solo and group embodied exploration (scores, body puzzles, creative play)
-Closing circle
