gatherings is a an artist led workshop series, and this Fall/Winter 2024 will focus on local and global BIPOC community members over 6 different sessions at BANDALOOP’s Studios in Oakland. Teaching artists engage in a multi disciplinary practice that combines drawing, movement, poetry/writing, and performance. These workshops are offered on a sliding scale or free entry, fostering a space that is growing and thriving through collective participation. Movements are taught and devised alongside a team of creative collaborators who identify as Latine, rooted in a movement practice that dismantles and questions embodied eurocentric aesthetics and values.
