Flight School: Apparatus Based Workshop
February 25-26th, 2023 Saturday and Sunday, 4:30-6:30 PM
ZACCHO Studio 1777 Yosemite Ave, San Francisco
$85 We will spend a weekend exploring the intersections of dance, improvisation, and suspended steel objects. All levels welcome. Feel free to respond to this email if you have questions. Our previous weekend workshop sold out, so sign up soon!
GIRLFLY 2023 is taking place in the Mission District of San Francisco. This year we will create both aerial dances and dances in an urban garden. We will also create a cooperative visual arts project, and practice writing as activism. Looking at systems of belonging and identity, students will respond to the question:
“What do you carry to lands you now live, from lands you have come from?”
This question recognizes land stolen from native people; the experience of immigrant and first generation youth; and the hope for safe space now and in the future. We will create amulets from real and imagined objects; we will create collaborative murals, a writing as activism statement, and dances that explore how you carry yourself in your body.
The program is for SF based teen girls and GNC students age 14-19.
