The CMU Center for New Work Development & Kelly Strayhorn Theater will present "Acts of Remembrance: Moving, Writing, Making," with Maree ReMalia, on November 4.
Join choreographer Maree ReMalia and collaborators for an interdisciplinary dance workshop. The workshop will begin with a guided movement warm-up, shifting through meditative gestures, full-bodied expressions, and playful, game-like interactions in ways that honor the richness of our diverse physicalities and lived experiences. Following the warm-up, the group will explore themes of remembrance through experimentation with movement, writing, vocalization, collage, and altar creation. This workshop is inspired by ReMalia’s forthcoming work WITH OURSELVES, WITH EACH OTHER, a solo that invites us to collectively grieve and celebrate against all odds. No prior experience is necessary! Please wear clothing comfortable for movement and bring a special memory object, photograph, or token to contribute to the shared altar (all personal belongings will be returned; this is also optional). Attendees are encouraged to also bring a water bottle, journal, and sneakers.The event starts at 7:00 pm and is held at Three Stories in downtown's Cultural District (map). Tickets are available online.
