Beyond statements of allyship, MAKING SPACE (2020/2021) is an initiative meant to foster critical, self-reflective, and creative spaces alongside the BIPOC Community; to provide actionable (if not vital) anti-black racism work, and build an expansive hub for youth, professional development, and connection.

WORKSHOP: MOVE TO LIVE AND LIVE TO MOVE - The human body is an incredible machine that is made to move. In this workshop with acclaimed actress/dancer/playwright, Leslie McCurdy (BFA Dance/Drama University of Michigan), participants will rediscover our natural inclination to move. We shall explore how we use dance - movement of the body through time and space - to express ourselves, to stay healthy and to keep our mind keen. Participants should be dressed to move freely and able to make a little space for themselves to move within. A gentle warm up will be followed with movement games, activities and explorations. All that is needed to bring is one's adventurous spirit!
