"When the dream was slaughtered and all that love and labor seemed to have come to nothing, we scattered... We knew where we had been, what we tried to do, who had cracked, gone mad, died, or been murdered around us... Not everything is lost. Responsibility cannot be lost, it can only be abdicated. If one refuses abdication, one begins again." –James Baldwin
Movement Workshop with BlackLight Summit artist Michael J. Love.
BlackLight Summit artist Christian A. Warner leads a movement workshop. Pulling from codified modern techniques, ballet, floorwork and musical theatre styles, this workshop exists as a contemporary movement class that often explores a wide range of systems with an emphasis on strengthening the integrated mind and body. All abilities and levels welcome.
BlackLight Summit artist Symara Johnson leads a movement workshop. This class is in practice with your romantic present, a conversation that ignites the many parts within us to activate and shift our perceptions of the world. We take time to choose where we want to go and dive into our agency. Symara Johnson plays the role of a facilitator as she shares entrances and exits formulated through her own experience of being. You are invited to be whoever and whatever during this. All abilities and levels welcome!
