Get Moving Around Climate Change
You’ve likely heard of Climate Change and Environmental Justice, but how can these concepts be applied to art-making and making a difference in the world? This interactive, movement-based workshop will explore Environmental Justice through individual and group activities, focusing on exchanging energy, giving and receiving intentions, and listening deeply to one another and our surroundings. Participants will discover how these practices can shape our lives, relationships, and connection to the earth, as well as inspire the creation of powerful art. No dance experience is required, and the workshop welcomes everyone. You’ll leave feeling connected and equipped with strategies to bring your ideas to life.
