About the Workshop:
Join artist Jaime Black-Morsette in this four-day workshop exploring the interconnections between our bodies and the land. Together we will learn to feel and draw on the histories held within ourselves and within the land and the power of these histories to move us.
Geared for dancers, performance artists, and those interested in the connection between our bodies and the land as well as land-based art practices. We welcome youth, adults, and elders of all experiences.
Lunch will be provided on all four workshop days. When registering, please indicate any dietary restrictions. Please also include any access needs that you have as well as transportation resources and requirements, i.e. access to a vehicle and how many seats, or if needing a ride.
