Registration for this workshop is now closed. 

 

From a Black ethos:
1 – too sexual, too wild, too soon
2 – trap as transportation
3 – sweat

This workshop is created for Black artists. You’ll be called on to write. You’ll be called on to move through the church of bass and cussin’.

 

What To Expect: 

We will be in a durational and medicinal movement practice that plays with the tensions, edges, and erotics, of spirituality and/through trap sounds. 

You can expect to move and to write, to access joy and sweat.
