We are thrilled to be a part of the City Universities of New York’s CDI residency this year! Inspired by Tricia Hersey’s Rest is Resistance, we explore ideas centering rest as a radical act - an act of liberation. Our new work in progress investigates interactive offerings that allow performers and audiences to rest through sound, movement, and collective care. These offerings create a safe space for healing and collective liberation.

We invite community to enter a restful utopia-in-making on May 17th at 2pm at Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden on Staten Island, NY.L
WHEN: May 17 | 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM
WHERE: Dance Center at Snug Harbor, Building G, 2nd floor, Studio G201
ADMISSION: $10 | Snug Harbor Members: $8
