formerly titled, ‘Growing a Body like a Plant”
This class is framed as a Dance class; beginning slow and deep to arrive at dancing to music. A collective ritual of growing oneself a new body by practicing being and listening to the pleasure of being a body and its desires. Based in achugar’s own practice developed through years of making dances; the practice of being in pleasure is a practice of undoing the learned hierarchical model of embodiment that has been programmed into us and to undo the shame that comes with it to unearth a more liberated, empowered, decolonized, uncivilized self that is more connected to our instincts, our hearts, our guts, and our sex to celebrate togetherness and connection to the earth, to ourselves, and to others.
What to expect:
This class is open to all levels of dance training and it is open to non-dancers as well.
Please bring warm clothes because this class starts slowly and internally connects us with breathing, sensing, moving and sounding from an intuitive knowing via achugar’s specific language that shifts your perception and embodied experience. The class starts slow and deep yet it does warm up the whole body and takes us from the floor into dancing full-out to house music. It goes from an internal experience and awareness to a collective relational joyful and empowered experience.
