Tending to the Mother in Me is a reflection on the labor of caregiving in all its forms through guided movement and play.

This workshop explores the complex nature of caregiving through movement, meditation, improvisation, and writing. It is open to folks of all backgrounds and experiences who tend to the needs of others including parents, teachers, elder workers, personal care assistants, domestic workers, community organizers, therapists, social workers, gardeners, medical professionals, and beyond. We join together to uncover how we, as caregivers and caretakers, can nurture our own well being. Through collective embodied investigation, we consider how radical love and care for others might be a road map for a more just, inclusive and interconnected world. Join us as we move, breathe, and play together. We need this now and we wonder if you do, too.

Childcare provided. No dance experience necessary. Free, but but space is limited: Please reserve your spot here! Classes take place in the Berger Park Ball Room on the third floor of the main building. The studio has a Marley dance floor over wood planks, natural and artificial lighting, and window air conditioning. We regret that the studio is not fully accessible – participants must move up two sets of stairs to access the space.
