Sitting with Dissonance Workshop
May 7th, 2025 • SMUSH Gallery
Inspired by a need for movement to find stillness and a recent obsession on the different ways of sitting in a chair, Kenia Rosete Dance invites you to play with a variety of methods to be still and to be in motion within your own routine. We will engage in some creative writing, movement scores and group discussions to enrich our inquiries together.
A free public offering, part of the SMUSH Gallery Spring Dance Series and 2025 Dance Fellowship.
