These classes will invite us to find the vibratory qualities of the voice as ‘another limb’ or a central channel of the body. We will explore listening, humming and creating vocal sound while maintaining awareness and embodiment of somatic experience and pathways of CI. Building on CI basic forms and awareness of tuning into sensation, weight, momentum, the space of the body, and the room, we will explore together CI with the voice as an integrated part of the body. Leah’s teaching style is gentle, welcoming and grounded in curiosity and connection.

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.

She tosses her head back, laughing with her eyes closed, with long blonde box braids brushing the floor. She is joy.
