TOGETHER TOGATHER TOGETHER TOGETHER
Friday November 20th- Saturday Nov 21st
in the Workroom Theater at 33 Hawley st, Northampton
a 36-hour event organized around the question of what fortifies us as individuals and as overlapping communities in this time. Knowing that there is no one answer to this question and that there is always more to do to divest from systems of domination, we put faith in care and simple technologies of gathering with others around shared intention and attention. Perhaps in doing so we will nourish our hearts and connections and reveal some of the strategies most needed to keep going. In addition to performances, readings, a dance party fundraiser, and a gender expansive clothing swap, there will also be opportunities for facilitated rest, touch, movement practice, singing, and collaborative crafting.
FEATURING: WORKSHOPS, PERFORMANCES and a DANCE PARTY!
CURATION TEAM: Vanessa Anspaugh, Mara Poliak, hana van der kolk and Jen Polins
ARTISTS: Vilde Chaya Fenster-Ehrlich, Kelsey Chapman, Simon Wolff, Hana van der Kolk, Mara Poliak, Eddy Levin, Jeffy O, Movement of the People Dance Company, Levi Gonzalez, Melinda Buckwalter, Jen Polins and MORE!
Sign up for one section or for the whole thing! Drop ins welcome!
