People Moves
feel together by moving together

People Moves are a space of experimentation for all people to explore movement as a shapeshifting energetic practice with the aim of feeling together by moving together. You don’t have to be a dancer or athlete to enjoy the experience. The workshops are emphatically noncompetitive and designed for all ages and abilities. Glo hopes each participant will develop lifelong pleasure in dancing any time, anywhere available to them, whether professionally or in their kitchen, or on the sidewalk.

*Saturdays at 10:30 AM – noon

Goodson
Goat Farm Arts Center

The exercises employ deep listening to your bodily sensations, opening your inner ears so to speak – to your sense of touch, pressure, and temperature; your movement’s direction, timing and quality; the sense of length, width, size, and shape of your limbs, your sense of effort, pulsing, liveliness, spaciousness, and more. Over and over, you are guided to sense the specific, and then brought back to feel yourself, newly, as a whole. How do we stay in the spaciousness of our permeability and possibility? How is the act of becoming a kind of ongoing choreography that is constantly loosening our perceptions, and time? People Moves is a place for a human to live and be in, exploring autonomously as a community, flush with living textures like curiosity, observations, emotions, questions, inner dialogues, eruptions, pleasures, and all the lovely, messy stuff we bring into our full embodied presence. People Moves are centered around the idea of being together to move in the moment and learn about yourself while exploring the most fundamental way you have of being in the world – through your actions.

These workshops are a sharing of research connected to the practice of glo founder social practice choreographer lauri stallings amidst offerings of reimagination. stallings tends to focus on warmth as a material for creative and spiritual energy that art can prompt in society.

Most of the workshops will be held inside Goodson that is surrounded by various sculptures and trees, allowing for different qualities of light to filter into the environment as the workshop progresses. Workshops will be informed often by light, noting the ways in which it interplays with the textures and atmospheres of the space.

The workshops are pay what you can. Workshops are free to Goat Farm residents.
