NEXT MONDAY May 18th is this month’s SHAKE 6:30-8pm at Headlong/Mascher Space Co-op 1170 S Broad St. $10-20 Venmo or Cash NOTAFLOF. To register ahead, Venmo @Xander_Cobb Shaking is a cathartic movement practice for all bodies. We shake, vibrate, bounce, rock, roll, sway, agitate our bodies continually to an hour long eclectic playlist. It can be standing, seated, laying down and any other way you choose. The task is to do it for a full hour. The focus is your body, your breath. It can be restful. It can be hard invigorating. We do it together but no one’s watching. Wear comfortable clothes, drink plenty of water, and stay home if you’re sick.

Clap for the soil. Clap for the air. Clap for what holds us all. I created Clapping for Nature as a gentle ritual for connection — an hour outdoors to witness, to move, to belong. Together, we’ll explore how performance and presence can become acts of care. 🗓 Sept 20 & 21, 2pm 📍 Cobbs Creek Park (Corner of Cobbs Creek and Thomas) 🎟 Free / PWYC Come clap with me! 👏 🌱 #PhillyFringe #NatureConnection #MovementAndSound

🌿✨ Grateful to everyone who came out for Clapping for Nature at FDR Meadows. Walking, moving, and clapping together in gratitude for the land felt like such a grounding and beautiful way to be in community. This project is close to my heart, and it’s offered in solidarity with the Save the Meadows campaign—because this place is sacred and worth protecting. Big love and thanks to @treeofanisa for all your support in making this possible 💚 If you missed it—there are two more chances this month to clap for nature, as part of Fringe Festival 📅 Sat, Sept 20 @ 2 PM 📅 Sun, Sept 21 @ 2 PM @ Cobbs Creek Park (see link in bio RSVP) 📸 by @tedpasson
