No. 4 of 4 in the first series of monthly workshops from The (Ari) Always Human Research Group!

Please Read: These are small-group sessions & each participant is very important! Please take note of the date and time before claiming a spot. If you think you may have a conflict, please do not sign up (email Ari instead for waitlist/email list) & wait until next time. The “free-ness” is for research purposes, not an indication of rigor/seriousness/fun.

This is the fourth session in a series of four monthly workshops from The Always Human Research Group, led by Ari. As a participant, you are not only reconnecting your mind and body, grounding yourself, and invigorating your creativity, but you are also helping Ari advance their somatic movement research.

In this workshop, we will...do exactly what the title says! We will engage in somatic ideation and a series of movement prompts to ideate and analyze the act of sitting. We will think about balance, gravity, and the possibilities our bodies have to “hold.” There will be a few rounds of ideation where we use only our bodies and then another round where we introduce props. This is a great workshop to bring a friend to.

What to bring/wear: Ari will have writing materials and everything necessary for the workshop. While we aren’t dancing, we will be doing movement & moving from sitting to standing frequently (and rolling around). You will also be engaging in partner work. We will be shooting documentation of the workshop, too!

Number of attendees: This event is capped at 8. If you think you may not be able to attend, do not sign up. Please let Ari know asap if there are any issues.

Accessibility Note: We will be moving & sitting on the ground for writing & discussion. There are cushions for sitting, but please let Ari know if you need a chair. The space is up a set of stairs and does not have an elevator. For future sessions, we will change locations if accessibility needs require it.

Documentation: You will be given releases for images so that Ari may include images in future research materials. If you do not wish to be included in that, you can let them know.

Arrival: You will be able to get in the space 10 minutes before, we will start right at 11, so we have time to document the work :)
