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.
Highlight + congrats!

![Before the Art Room Studio 🎞️ there were other spaces. Other studios. Other sites.
Leah Stein Dance Company has been making work across Philadelphia for 25 years, creating site-responsive performances, collaborations, and a practice built around paying close attention to place and to people. The Art Room Studio is where that practice lives now. 🌼
“Art Room Studio is such a vital, generous space; it truly feels like a sanctuary where creative risk-taking is encouraged and supported. It allowed me to experiment with new movement languages in a way that felt both challenging and deeply joyful. [It] is an authentic punk space in Philly, and I am so happy I get to see and make work there.” - Philadelphia
