We believe dance is for everyone. Whether it is in your kitchen, in the grass with your kids, in a class, whether you have attended a post secondary institution, you do this for money, you dance as a ceremony, you dance for protest, you dance to honour, you dance to celebrate, you dance to feel, you dance to purge, you dance to process, you dance to meditate, you dance to pray, you dance to challenge, you dance for strength. No matter where or why we dance, we will move in and out of our comfort zones together.This is an Online Event. You will need to register to receive the invitation, which will be sent out 24 hours before the event. Please communicate any needs you may have to feel welcome and fulfilled.Mondays July 13th, 20th and 27th 4PM - 6PM MST/////////////What to Expect:We will arrive. We will check in and introduce. We will set intentions. Proposals of exercises and games will be made. There will be discussion. The movement will be of an improvisational, playful, mindful and meditative nature. Everyone will participate as they wish. We will hold space for all. We will notice, listen and watch. We will share our experiences. We will close.

It is our intention to approach this experience from an anti-racist, anti-ableist, decolonial, and feminist lens. We ask that you hold us accountable to this statement and call us in to harmful actions and attitudes. Slow Motion Radical/Kara Bullock is based in Mohkinstsis (Calgary) on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut’ina, the Îyâxe Nakoda Nations, the Métis Nation (Region 3), and all people who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta.During our practice, we will ask participants to share their name, gender pronouns, description of themselves/what they are wearing, where they are based/located, race/ethnocultural background. We will be mindful of sharing the space, and holding space for others. We will embrace quiet and silence. We will take care of ourselves and participate as we feel in the moment./////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
