Step Into Intentional Movement with Joy Marie Thompson & Dunan Kandra

Prepare for your day with a gentle, guided warm up that emphasizes your body-mind connection.
We will begin by asking you to bring forth an intention to guide the warm-up, then dive right into light heat-generative movement, sweep into the Brain Dance (coined by Anne-Green Gilbert), and end by literally stepping back into the intention you initially set forth. This warm-up is open to all. Consider the option of bringing a chair for moderation purposes.

She is currently a full time performer for Punchdrunk/Emursive's NYC production of Sleep No More. When not performing they are studying the connections of race, neuroqueerness, and somatic movement.
