-a Radical Community Care Work/Rest-shop for Dancers and Choreographers

in a society that glorifies productivity and competition, taking care of ourselves and each other is a radical and collective action. this work/rest-shop is a space for us, as dance-artists, to take the time to reimagine our own futures and determine for ourselves who we want to be, rather than who society wants us to be.

together we will critically re-think and re-dance the ways in which we work, and confront our own prejudices surrounding what it means to be ‘a good artist’. we will work towards developing tools to start practicing ‘the world that we want’ in the ways we organize ourselves as individuals, and as communities. we will work with how to create our own community-care strategies and to set up our own healthy barriers.

as artists we are supporting areas of our society in critical states. we need to continue this work, without running ourselves into the ground. radical community care, recuperation and pleasure are crucial for continuing the struggle for a sustainable cultural society for all.

the workshop draws on BDSM consent practices, critical intersectional feminist and Black fugitive studies, with a focus on embodied collective sharing processes.
