Workshop
Surrender and Agency with Takahiro Yamamoto
May 26th, 6pm-8pm
Art Room Studio
2329 S. 3rd Street, 2nd fl
This workshop introduces breathing exercises and solo and group improvisational movement practice that utilizes metaphysical/spiritual trust and the commitment to surrender. At the end, group discussion will be held to explore participants’ physical experiences in relationship to their personal backgrounds. The idea of ‘post memory’ will be discussed – delving into the interconnectivity of things that we don’t know, things that we physically experience, and things that we don’t articulate.
Workshop
Deep Listening Moving, Sounding, Grounding in the Heart
(dates coming soon)
Art Room Studio
2329 S. 3rd Street, 2nd fl
Leah Stein facilitates a heart-centered Deep Listening voice movement workshop. With gentle prompts, we invite our bodies to ground, sound and connect through somatic awareness practices and deep listening scores. We will focus on the heart channel, the heart / hand / body connection and explore the balance of openness and protection in these challenging times. All welcome!
Highlight + congrats!

MISS GENDER at STUDIO WORKS ☎️💄
@missgenderdotcom in collaboration with Colby Calhoun
Miss Gender (yes/and/also) is a wish and a wish granted, a local star, a state of being. She invites you to witness her in witness of herself, in practice/in process, and hopes that through that we all learn how to see/do/be more of that which is close to us - always already a part of us - but may often feel far away. Both rooted in her before and wayyy too forward thinking, she is painstakingly and imminently (inevitably) “in the moment”; Miss Gender is a dream come true.
