This is a black vinyl tote bag. On the front of the bag, there is an orange square that frames the words in all caps: AIR BETWEEN MY VERTEBRAE. Right underneath the words, there is an image of part of a curving spine. The square, words, and spine detail are made of an orange, flock vinyl material that has a soft velvet, fuzzy feel.

Workshop Description

The first in a series of three highly detailed workshops analyzing specific anatomical areas. In this workshop, we will use movement and conversation to not only cultivate scientific knowledge related to the gluteus complex (the butt!), but also initiate a higher degree of body awareness and neurological learning in this area. Evolutionary history and the marvels of human variation will also be addressed in this workshop. No prior knowledge of human anatomy, dance, or self-audio description is required to participate, but all students will come away with deep anatomical knowledge, reduced movement anxiety, and tools to start learning how to talk about movement in a visceral way. Yes, we'll be laughing, too.
