Exploring Environmental Justice in Movement

     You certainly know about Climate Change and the inequities it imposes. You may have also heard about Environmental Justice. But how does it play out and how can we use its principles in making art and to make a difference in the world? This interactive movement-based experience will illuminate environmental justice through individual and group physically engaging activities. We will explore exchanging energy, giving and receiving intentions and actions, and listening with our whole selves to one another and our surroundings. We will discover how these activities can inform our lives and relationships to each other and the earth. No dance experience is needed and the workshop welcomes everybody and background. You'll come away feeling connected and carrying strategies to move your own ideas forward.
