Online Series: Our Creation Stories: A Performance Workshop ~ with Joy Cosculluela

4 Mondays, October 26 – November 16, 10am-12pm PDT

We tap into nature’s bodies to remember our creation stories. Where do we come from? What is my ocean? What is my mountain? What are my tree-roots? Who are my people?
Through the lens of indigenous wisdom, we humbly learn and remember our interconnectedness with nature. Inspired by working with Anna Halprin in the natural environment, this workshop evokes our bodies, feelings, and imagination as we find reflections of ourselves in water, trees, wind, the natural elements. Using movement, drawing and writing, we will use the Life/Art Process to develop performances from our creation stories, and witness those of our fellow performers.
As we continue to navigate current times of great change, we respond by mindfully shifting to new ways of knowing ourselves and each other.
Open to all. No dance or art experience needed.

To get the most out of this online series, please prepare a comfortable space to move in with access to your online device. Also, have art supplies ready at hand for drawing activities, and paper and pen for journaling and creative writing exercises.
