SUMMARY:Form and Space: Hits\, Covers\, and well-loved music
DESCRIPTION:A special play based edition of F & S featuring greatest hits\, covers\, and well loved songs. You're invited to wear something playful too.\n\n\nHosted by psychologist Hillary McBride\, this event is about creating the space to step outside of the ways of being a body that are structured\, familiar\, and prescribed\, to tune into our bodily voice\, and practice moving in a way that feels authentic\, giving unexplored or unexpressed places inside of us form through our movement and words. When what is inside of us moves into the space around us\, we can begin to encounter more space inside while also giving it form. \nThe two hours will be comprised of free movement (ecstatic dance)\, writing\, and group sharing. For those of you new to free movement\, the purpose of this is choice and bodily autonomy while engaging with movement to play\, express\, and experience your bodily wisdom. You get to choose how you want to move your body. If that means laying down and listening to the music\, connecting to your wild self\, or waltzing your inner critic back and forth\, all of it is just as it just as it should be. This is a space for you to practice moving how you want to move\, and then have time to write and verbally integrate the experiences you have. Writing and dialogue prompts for integration will be offered. \nAs this is a special edition of Form and Space featuring HITS\, COVERS\, and WELL-LOVED SONGS\, feel free to dress the part. Want to wear that costume in the back of your closet? DO IT! The bridesmaide dress that you haven’t pulled out ever again? YES! The 80s workout gear\, or tye-died something- or other? PLEASE DO.  \nPlease bring some water\, your journal and a pen\, and wear loose clothing to move in with layers to remove as you warm up. We will be moving with shoes off. Space is wheelchair accessible. All bodies welcome. \nSome tickets will be available for cash at the door\, and if finances are an issue please let us know so we can find a way to include you. Refunds will be unavailable after 24 hours before the event begins.
