Dancers Unlimited is presenting a series of 7 community Food MoveMEANT sessions on First Fridays starting this February! The sessions are hosted both at Waiwai Collective’s Nu'uanu location and virtually on the FREE community app! Edible Tales: Food MoveMEANT Sessions explore Cultural Heritage, Social Justice & Sustainability. Fusing food topics and dance, each session explores a food-related topic and holds space for achievable action plans toward healing, justice and restoration. The participants are encouraged to turn ideas into action through creative movement exploration and collaboration. 

The event series kicks off on February 4th and runs for 7 consecutive months. Join us for community talks, story and recipe sharing, meet community organizers and leaders, and honor our individual bodies and lived experiences. All sessions are recorded to be included in the culminating dance documentary anthology.
