Part of a series of virtual workshops offered by CARe covering a wide variety of themes in the arts and religion. Each topic is covered by two 2-hour-long workshops. Open to students and community members alike, each workshop pair carries a $100 fee. CARe workshops are open to all - no experience in any of the fields necessary! GTU students, please note that these are not credit-earning workshops.

This online movement workshop seeks to re-narrate the pandemic experience on and through the body. Together we will consider terms like contagion, masking, and social distancing in order to recuperate them in our bodies through positive rather than negative association. By moving together apart, we can begin to derive strategies for self-care through movement that seeks to account for the whole person, at a time when our lives have largely been relegated to the virtual self. We will play movement games, explore bodily tasks, and practice meditation/breathing exercises. No dance experience is necessary, only a willingness to move and explore one’s self and your surroundings.
