Witchdancing for Beltane: HERE

• Sunday, 2 May 2021, 5pm eastern on Zoom
• Facilitated by Michael J. Morris
• Original soundscore by Moxy Martinez
• This is an hour-long movement ritual practice called Witchdancing, with time for conversation and sharing afterward. This practice asks: what if a dance is also a spell with which we conjure our bodies and the worlds in which they live? In Witchdancing, we move through a continuous series of images, qualities, and states, engaging in a metamorphosis of the body. The movement is improvisational and requires no previous dance experience.
• This event is donation based.
• As a participant in reparative justice, this event is free to all Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.
• They ask that all others donate to support the event with a suggested scale of $20-30.
