Morning Class: How to ParLAY the Dance
Fall 2019 class dates: 9/26, 9/30, 11/1, 12/13, 12/20
This workshop is inspired by mayfield’s ongoing, life long project and movement practice, Improvising While Black (IWB). Within this approach is an invitation to ParLAY the dance. Lay your body down, play, pray (as in ask earnestly through vocalized expression), pay respects to ancestors.
Come to the dance as you are.
We come to each other in the same way—without pretense, assumption or expectations—just being together. In and out of contact. Practicing refusal and consent. Embracing rest. Sounding, singing, shouting. Dancing inside of questions. Improvising among ancestors, revolutionaries, ocean, air and earth.
