Come join us. Through simple and playful exercises, we will research the body and imagination in a series of four creative movement workshops. Beginning with a group warmup and breath, each session includes a short meditation, improvisation and learned movement. Open to all bodies, the workshops are an opportunity to explore movement on one’s own and with others. Participants will receive a journal to record thoughts and feelings; please wear loose clothing for your comfort. 
 
The workshops, first taught in India in 2017 and founded on a previous program led at the Institute of Contemporary Art, PA, evolved from the performance project ‘VEIL: Two Sisters’, by Cynthia Berkshire. The series will culminate in an opportunity for participants to experience VEIL, bringing their interpretation to the ending ritual’s movement. The project invites audiences on an inner journey while offering the possibility of connection and reconciliation.
