EMERGENT IMPROVISATION: THE GATHERING

Please join Emergent Improvisers TROY, UILA, ALEXIS, and EVELYN (as well as some special musical guests!!) for an improvised gathering at Arts on Site on July 11th at 6:30pm and again at 8:30pm. The session will begin with a sharing story circle and end with a meditation but what happens in between is up to you! We will be processing text from adrienne maree brown's Emergent Strategy through language, movement, music, and imagery. You will have the option to remove your shoes. @troyanosaurus @mx.uila @a.vinzons @angelpumpkinpie
