Movement Workshop w/ The Bonnies

Accessible to people of all physicalities, this 2-hour process workshop alternates verbal and somatic space with imagination work, embodied meditations, partner exercises, and gently held risk taking in play and processing. Can we loosen our grip on reality long enough to let the body lead us into imagining new possibilities? The Bonnies will lead the group through practices used in the creation of their latest piece (I’m on Fire, You’re on Fire, We’re on Fire), exploring joy, fantasy, afterlife, and other possible selves in a container of agenda-free community research. Absolutely no dance/movement experience required, this is a space where you can show up as you are and respond to prompts through multiple mediums, including writing, drawing, movement, and speaking. Touch-free options will be provided for all exercises involving touch. Masks welcome. Please bring a notebook and pen and wear comfortable clothes. Workshop recommended for adults or mature teenagers.

The Bonnies (twin flames Kaitlin McCarthy and Jenny Peterson) have been making strange performance works together in Seattle, WA, since 2013. Gravitating to the grotesque/off-kilter/marvelous, their work rides the edges of humor and horror to find transformation and intimacy.

ADA/Accessibility Information
Accessibility at Base: The Factory has a ramped entrance located at the north end of the building (through the orange door); the southern entrance of the building is only accessible by stairs. The building has limited outside lighting and can be difficult to navigate and locate when its dark out. Once inside, Base is accessible by ramp through our front doors. Please note that Base is not a scent-free space. The Factory has two gender neutral multi-stall restrooms and two single stall restrooms that are wheelchair accessible. Because we share a building with other studios, there are often industrial noises throughout the building and heavy machinery operated such as forklifts.
