MoveMEANT Session - The Banned Books Project <NYC>
Facilitator: Sol Hoffens
DJ: CRT
Book: “Red Moon: Understanding and Using the Creative, Sexual and Spiritual Gifts of the Menstrual Cycle“ by Miranda Grey.
Weʻve teamed up with La Mama Experimental Theater Club for another year of monthly MoveMEANT sessions!
Join us to explore enriching storytelling through freestyle movement and open discussion. Each month, a different spotlight artist/facilitator will share their creative processes that combine freestyle techniques to shift perspectives. This year we are taking it a step further, incorporating discussion and exploration surrounding banned books. Each session we will choice a book to dive into and explore, create moveMEANT narratives about. These books are part of our history, part of our culture, tools for our future so it’s important to us that they continue to be read and uplifted.
This is a space curated for healing, exploration, and learning - for movers from all different disciplines who are looking to find or refine their artistic voices. We will jam, discover, and share with one another, cultivating unbreakable connections in our practices and community.
Each session includes:
75 minutes of guided freestyle / improvisation exploration +
75 minutes of open style session with a live DJ- a space for each participant to explore storytelling through freestyle movement.
Fee: $10 pre-registration; $20 at the door
