Octavia Rose Hingle<\/strong> will build on their bed-dancing technique to offer strategies for pleasure and possibility in the soft surfaces of our domestic spaces. Disabled and non-disabled dancers of all backgrounds are invited to find their own unique translations of contemporary dance fundamentals on our beds, couches and floors. We will work across planes, perspectives and parts of the body to discover the many bed dances that live within us.<\/p>\n

This workshop is being held in conjecture with the exhibition \u201cDe la vie Au lit\u201d, curated by Sarah Heussaff<\/strong>, that brings together artists making work based on the experience of being bedridden, having a \u201cdysfunction,\u201d or a desire to explore collective rest. Galerie de l’UQAM , Feb 23, 2024 to Apr 6, 2024<\/em><\/p>\n
