Becoming the Wind: A Community Movement Workshop with Dance Waterloo

Pease Park Conservancy is excited to partner with Morgan Teel of Dance Waterloo for a dance event at Pease Park! This event is free and open to the public. Becoming the Wind: A Community Movement Workshop is a beginner-friendly outdoor workshop inspired by Joy Harjo’s poem “Running” from An American Sunrise. Through contemporary movement and guided improvisation, participants will explore freedom, resilience, transformation, and the ways our bodies respond to the natural environment. REGISTER HERE This project was supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, with additional support from Arts Midwest. To learn more about how National Endowment for the Arts grants impact individuals and communities, visit www.arts.gov What to Expect: Participants will be guided through an accessible warm-up, creative movement prompts, and individual and group exercises inspired by wind, running, and change. No previous dance experience is required, and movements can be adapted for different bodies, abilities, and comfort levels. This workshop is geared toward adults. However, children and youth are welcome when accompanied by an adult.
