MOVEMENT IS _____ WORKSHOP | 5:30-7 PM

The workshop is an abridged version of a four-part workshop series (each workshop is typically one hour long) designed by the artists, educators, and fitness professionals of The Borscht Collective. Each workshop builds on familiar forms of movement and wellness such as yoga, pilates, and meditation. We then introduce ideas and skills, like: body language awareness, composition structures, and constructive feedback methods borrowed from practices common in the performing arts.

This abridged version combines elements from all four workshops:

MOVEMENT IS Reiki Recharge & Meditation

MOVEMENT IS For 9-5

MOVEMENT IS Body, Mind & Heart

MOVEMENT IS a Language

MOVEMENT IS PERFORMANCE | 8-9 PM

The performance is a curated program of renowned guest artists. They will collaborate together to re-imagine their pre-existing works and create an entirely new and unique performance for the evening.
