Nectar Fusion Playground is a queer-led, culture-shaping space to explore creative expression and connection through the improvisational form of fusion partner dance, and beyond!Here, we invite
~ dancing together free of normative gender roles
~ honoring the function of form to enjoy safe, co-creative expression
~ prioritizing attunement and play
~ choosing relating over transacting
~ taking self-responsibility
~ practicing radical, enthusiastic consent
~ challenging ourselves to cultivate our dance skill from whatever level we are at
~ co-creating an inclusive and courageous environment where authentic introspection and connection are celebrated
~ being mindful of our bodies in space and others around us
~ get juiced so that we can continue to do the hard work of building a better world
