@howdowe.not ' s skill and intelligence is obvious in the way in which he worked his workshop participants through the ideas of erasure, rebellion, taking space and solidarity, even while making it a truly physical experience.
We understood in an embodied way the birth, form and passion of Whacking! While all the while resonating with why it was so very essential to gather and dance like this in order to really W*ACK THE TRANS ACT.
At this crucial moment in Bengal's history, here was an evening of love and solidarity all the way in Bangalore .
Thank you Sangram for doing what you do and for the questions you sent us home with.
Thank you to all the wonderful participants who came, moved and learnt together.
May we dance in joy and in the troubled times.
May we dance in courage
