The eventful evening will offer a presentation of Cherise’s research, a small educational exposition, an open to all jam that will be kicked off by talented movers and moments to connect, socialize or just zone out with the guidance of music by a DJ!
Please RSVP so we have an indication of the crowd. The research is funded by Het Cultuurfonds: Horizon and the creation of the event is funded and supported by HOOP GEMS.
Main program: Research “Work in progress” presentation
Alongside Bongjin (Producer & Pianist) And Abel Ton (Guitarist), Cherise will be showcasing a work in progress. A process of connecting mind and body for that much needed physical and mental release. Healing powers of dance in especially the styles Punking & Whacking and what it does for lgbtq+ and or POC bodies and minds. Next to this presentation, there will be educational resources available in the form of an exposition that highlights (queer) culture shaped by and for especially marginalized communities.
‘Heavy hearts, heavy mind, heavy bodies and so much tension. Longing for the feelings of ease, care and soothingness. Chasing and holding it tight. Empowered by many, fueled by ourselves.’
