Arts and Queer Ecologies workshop at Stanford University
Offering new Spring Course at UC Davis for upper division undergraduates and graduate students.
Working from the assumption that social change requires us to co-imagine worlds, this hybrid studio course will center approaches, method and tools for co-creation and art-making as a collective exploration.
A student-centered designed course: Bring your practice (dance, drawing, music, cut-up poetry, silkworm-rearing, sculpture, [fill with your own] and be ready to experiment, share and learn with each other.
Returning to my alma matter after a decade of dance, health and activism, and excited to be sharing questions, tools and practices in two workshops for the Global dance/activist community in Athens.
Will be presenting my research on rehearsal and co-creation for health activism, drawing from the work with oncogrrrls project.

August 13, 16, 17, improbable (Daniel Bear Davis and myself) are presenting Des-Echoes at Summer Works Festival, in Toronto.
How do we know the “other” within? In this physically dynamic piece, two inextricably intertwined bodies navigate form and variation in their shared skin. Des-Echoes is an exploration of our relation to the parts that we hide, disassociate from, or ignore. Two bodies are torn apart, conjoined, dismembered, and gathered again in a dance of generative friction. [Des-Echoes] is a complication of the Spanish, “desechos”, meaning “rubbish”, “waste”, “outcast”.
This evening of original dance performance explores bodies in motion, interwoven, in and out of sync, navigating the rhythms and possibilities of bodies together. It will include Spectral Sketchings choreographed by Daniel Bear Davis and Anna Maynard, cosensing, we are already silkworms, study#4 , by Caro Novella and choreographed with participants on site, and Des-Echoes, choreographed in collaboration between Daniel Bear Davis and Caro Novella.
This hybrid-movement-workshop-as-political-laboratory - is an invitation for socially engaged dancers, artists, activists, and bodies of all kinds, for everyone curious about or committed to live art, performance, social practice, and activist art making.
