Kinesthetic Strike A circle discussion led by Daisy Thompson in conversation with guest speakers, guided around the idea of rehearsal as a way to imagine, practice and disseminate joyful, positive and durable relationships.
Centered around the concerns of the disproportionate and fatiguing labour of artists, when our art processes and practices are so closely entwined with the art market, this circle discussion will discuss how dance rehearsal – including the creation of the spaces to rehearse, and the advocacy of the conditions to work – can contribute to healthier connections through interdependent relationships of care.
Sunday November 28 | 2:30-4PM with Ziyian Kwan & Jessica Wadsworth. In person or via Zoom.
Monday November 29 | 3-5PM with Justine A. Chambers, Tara Cheyenne Friedenberg & Deanna Peters.
