Dance as a Practice

November 17 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Free

Event Admission

“Dance as a Practice” explores the core reasons why we dance: to express, to play, and explore ways to heal.

We’ll begin with somatic movement practices from the Filipino and eastern traditions and move into contemporary explorations using improvisations. We finish with a channeling of community through a collective dance making.

This event is presented by the FYP Cultural Ambassadors and Anito Gavino of Animalaya.
