*Please note: This event has been cancelled!

As our words, our bodies, and our world melt into and all around us — join this collective Reading Group co-organized by the Movement Research Performance Journal editors and special guest (to be announced).

A short reading list will be provided to participants before the Reading Group. Copies will also be available onsite for participants to join and read on the day of the event. Over the course of this Reading Group, participants will have the chance to read independently in a shared space before joining small groups for discussions that seek emergent themes and connections across disparate texts. This event will be facilitated by members of the MRPJ editorial team, and provides a space to not only rest and read to close out a day of movement workshops as part of the Winter MELT intensive, but also to find other pathways to community and connection.
