Last year I collaborated with @margotgreenlee & @elizabethorej on an interactive work webbing together notions of food, community, and death. We shared it at @jacobspillow , and next week I’m heading back to Massachusetts to revisit and share these ideas with a new audience! I’ll be teaching classes at @bostonu , @thedancecomplex & @deathsalon that guide participants to creatively embody mortality. • • • Join me for a special class open to the public at The Dance Complex 536 Massachusetts Ave Friday 9/28 12-2pm $20 💀 • • • #deathsalon #deathsalonboston #deathpositive #mortality #death #creative #dance #choreography #movement #dansemacabre #grief #loss #support #deadication

✨January started the year strong with a collaboration between Dance Generators and @engageforlife ✨ An intergenerational dance duet catalyzed community dialogue within 11 affordable housing communities in Los Angeles where resident reflections on the dance were woven into a new vision for intergenerational advocacy. Thanks @engageforlife for welcoming us! We’ll be sharing an iteration of this event at @yourlocaleconomy on April 19th — ticket link in bio to join 🎟️ Dancers: Sebastian Le & @tomenestubbs Photos: @hope.a.spears ID: Group of older adults seated in a circle indoors follow a facilitator, raising their arms together in a guided movement activity.
