RAVE SCHOOL is an 1.5 hour immersive workshop exploring deep listening through movement and play. Set to an ambient soundscape, participants are invited to tune into the sometimes chaotic impulses of their bodies rather than trying to create aesthetically pleasing movement. Drawing inspiration from practices like contact improvisation, ecstatic Dance, and 5Rhythms, we'll guide participants through a series of playful movement prompts. These might include embodying an animal, moving with a partner while keeping one part of your body connected to theirs, or responding intuitively to different lyrics and sounds. This is designed for beginners and no dance experience is needed. RUNDOWN Opening circle (30 min) Deep listening and warm up exercises (30 min) Break (15min) Movement explorations, Part II (30min) Closing reflection (15min) WHAT TO BRING Flowy, loose clothing is recommended so you can move comfortably. But more importantly, wear whatever makes you feel most like yourself. BYOB. TICKETS To keep the workshop accessible, we’re offering a $8–20 sliding scale.
