Last time we did this event it was to raise money for Community Day market in June - we don't need to raise money for our next market - QUEERMAS - our stallholder fees will cover our costs this time so we can pay ourselves a wage with ticket sales! However, after the roughest year ⅓ of the LQM team - BOE - is in need of some financial support.
Ahead of their second unexpected studio move of the year, combined with a debt tagged onto their account by a shitty ex, and the general state of the world and cost of living - they need some money to cover these costs so they can keep working on Boe Studios and LQM and avoid having to work full time and give up these projects.
We are each of us are bursting with energies, emotions and impulses that desire to MOVE. Anger, love and pent up days fizz and clamber at our skin. Over time, our bodies have clamped tight their frames, muscles and bones submitting to 'sit still', legs zipped shut in plastic chairs from birth. We silence our impulses and are overgrown.
In this workshop, we release this - we get quiet - we listen to what the body wants to say + where it wants to go. Stamp, sway, curl, growl.
Following the wisdom of somatic teachings, we will explore how movement and dance can be used to process emotions. Expect loud music and quiet inhibitions.
If you are scared to dance, or scared to get weird in front of others, know that today's workshop is designed with this in mind. Please get in touch if you'd feel more comfortable with a detailed breakdown of what to expect.
All movements are adaptable to different mobility needs. If you have any accessibility needs you would like to highlight, please give me a shout.
