MOSSBELLY: A Workshop

The workshop on Thursday, October 3 will take place in the East Common Room (located on the first floor) and the workshop on Thursday, October 10 will take place in the Music Room (located on the second floor).

In this movement-based workshop led by Angela, participants will experience her embodied practices in connecting with the more-than-human world, and explore possibilities for entering into bodily resonance with plants. This workshop, facilitated in a group setting, will be a space for knowledge-sharing. Participants are invited to create physical movements that allow for a reciprocity with plants, land, and other beings that exist within a shared ecology. Participants will be stepping softly into the ebb and flow of primal bio rhythms—rhythms that we share with everything there is in the world—and identifying how and where they fit within it. No previous experience is required. The artist encourages participation to those with an openness and interest in subtle attunement with plants.

Note: Participants are not required, but are encouraged, to attend both workshops. See “Related Programming” below for more information.
