in-person workshop with

& Joseph Machado​

​​

Each of us carries more than we can imagine. We arrive with a past that has shaped us, a present that is in constant flux, and a future we are steadily moving towards.

​

• Hindsight invites us to feel the history that lies beneath our surface

• Insight asks us to stay attuned to our ever changing landscape of feelings, sensations and thoughts that create the here and now

• Foresight opens up our aspirations: what we are reaching for, what holds us back and what pulls us toward the bigger field of awareness.

Together we explore these territories through the arts: movement, writing and verbal inquiry. The questions are both personal and collective. We investigate what fosters our full sightedness and what clouds our vision. 

​

Let’s all come as we are, bringing our life to the dance floor.
