This class is open to any body that wants to move, sound, remember, and listen.

Together we will warm up our bodies, voices, senses, imagination, and memory with a guided sequence of prompts and exercises sourced from embodied traditions and technologies such as Jazz, Hatha yoga, BodyMindMovement, improvisation, slow cooking, and garment design.

After a short moment to record (write, draw, water), we will take time to locate and experience improvisational recipes and phrase material, as we practice, craft, and rest.

Participants will be invited to move, rest, change, still, remember, and dream.

I am asking
…how can we source familiar rhythms to locate and acknowledge memories in our bodies with care and attention?
…how can my / your body use memory, sensation, and imagination as ways to enter embodied practices to articulate story, ancestry, and personal truth?
…how can each of us reference our own spectrum of learning?

How can we reference all the ways we have learned to dance and move?

You will be asked:

to take care of yourself.
To source the languages, spoken and embodied, that bring you most joy.
to move, still, and rest with the body, voice, experience, and space that you have in the present moment.
to be with the spectrum of your joy and grief.
