SUMMARY:Liquid Strategies: Ancestral ‘Wave’ Wisdom\, Somatic Dance & Collective Naps
DESCRIPTION:Influenced by African philosophy and Caribbean movement wisdom\, we’ll explore somatic dance practice and rest. This event is for BPOC folks.\n\n\nIt’s UK Black Pride! \nThis workshop\, influenced by African philosophy and Caribbean movement wisdom\, will explore somatic dance practice and rest using layered art-making within a ritual container\, to generate bodily knowledge and stimulate collective healing. \nWe will begin by grounding and slowing down to align with the natural pace of the body\, before opening into movement through embodying undulating wave patterns (Katherine Dunham\, Emilie Conrad of Continuum) to awaken us to the fluidity and vitality within. \nInspired by the teachings of Malidoma Somé and Sobunfu Somé\, we will explore queerness through the lens of spiritual purpose\, and rehearse the joy and intimacy of co-created ritual to support our dreaming. \nThe session will end with a guided period of rest or ‘collective napping’. This space is for LGBTQ+ BPOC folks. \nAbout the facilitator \nAngela (she/her) is an artist and somatic dance/movement educator accredited by the International Somatic Movement Education and Therapy Association (ISMETA.org). \nBased in Nottingham UK\, they work with individuals and groups to support a holistic approach to wellbeing and mental health through dance\, meditation\, breathwork and therapeutic arts practice. \nAngela’s work is informed by decolonial approaches\, indigenous spiritual practice and African philosophy (Ubuntu). \nShe has a Masters degree in Dance & Somatic Wellbeing (University of Central Lancashire\, 2021)\, and has since been working regularly with Micro Rainbow; a charity that supports LGBTQ+ asylum seekers with housing\, asylum application and wellbeing\, through their bi-monthly body and movement programme and creative project intensives. \nIn 2024\, Angela won a £5000 grant from New Art Exchange to program a series of somatic dance workshops for women as part of the Art Your Way award. \nAccessibility \nThe Centre’s accessibility statement is here. \nCovid safety at the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre \nTo keep our community safe\, we ask that all visitors do not visit the centre if they are feeling any Covid-19 symptoms including headache\, fever\, sore throat\, consistent cough or chills. \nYou can wear a mask if you feel more comfortable.
