Houston - are you ready for our final workshop of the year?! Join us for this special event on Sunday, November 17 from 2-4pm at @sorealstudios as we learn about “Dance as a Practice”, presented by Anito Gavino! (@ani_malayaworks)
“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.
We're super excited to welcome Anito back to Houston and to collaborate with her for our first joint dance workshop! Dance is deeply infused with Filipino culture, and we look forward to exploring the core reasons of why we all dance.
Date: Nov 17, 2024
Time: 2-4pm
Location: Soreal Studios
14520 Memorial Dr APT 59, Houston, TX 77079
Again, ADMISSION IS FREE, but please remember to register so we can accommodate for space!
