SEPT 25 | FEMME FANTASTIC: THE CARNAL SCREEN
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25 7:30PM FREE! STUDIO4: 25 MAIN ST, NORTHAMPTON MA **PLEASE NOTE: screening will include work that features nudity as well as explicit sexual imagery. Films by MM Serra, Peggy Ahwesh, and Katherine Bauer Curated by MM Serra Artists in person “This program of films will present an alternative image of the body, of sex, and of intimacy – images that are about individuality and freedom of expression, rather than standardization and profit. They present truthful depictions of a vital part of human nature; they facilitate the cathartic release of repressed anxieties; and they allow us to think critically and engage in serious conversations about the complex political issues that surround representations of sexuality in contemporary society.” -MM Serra |

OCT 20 | CONTEMPORARY LAB SERIES
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 20 10:30AM-12PM $15 ADULT / $12 STUDENT STUDIO4: 25 MAIN ST, NORTHAMPTON MA WORKSHOP WITH LAUREL SNYDER Who is this body? is a movement experience that is open to movers of all ages and experience levels. This class strives to create an inspiring, supportive environment in which students feel comfortable and free to take risks within and outside of their bodies. We will take a playful, hands-on approach to understanding our structures, heightening our awareness of ourselves and how we navigate space. I encourage movers to discover or redefine their movement potential through exercises that emphasize each individual’s ideal postural alignment, softness into the floor, articulation, energetic efficiency and ease. We will work with touch, breath, voice and imagination to inspire curiosity and creativity that will hopefully stay with us as we leave the studio and re-enter the world around us. |
