florwerk
This is a dynamic and deep movement practice. I am particularly interested in the somatic process of learning (or remembering) and embodying movement, which allows us to not only train the body for aesthetic and performance purposes but for strengthening our neural pathways that can help us expand our awareness of space, time and connection. Through breath, warmth, rhythm and stillness, this practice explores a rigorous and buoyant physicality that embraces pleasure, tenderness and community, through phrases, somatic practices and improvisation
About Gizeh:
gizeh moves, teaches and performs. She is from Mexico and is currently co-existing in Ohlone territory. Dedicated to the study of being a breathing body. They recreate body stories through touch, relationship, movement and stillness to explore new paradigms of temporality, relationality and intimacy. An improviser and composer devoted to witness beauty and the cultivation of wonder and curiosity. She listens to the dialogue created from, with, and through their body and her movement practice is fluent in floor work, somatic practices and deep listening.
This workshop is in partnership with Atland Residency

HUT is an exciting and innovative interdisciplinary performance series that has been running for 14 seasons. It is co-curated by movement artist Jennifer Polins, poet catherine corbett bresner, and sound artist Jake Meginsky. The series showcases the work of three artists in each performance, featuring MOVEMENT, WORDS, and MUSIC from local and international artists who share a pursuit of experimental improvisation and an intention to push their forms forward. HUT draws diverse audiences who love music, writing and dance, offering varied communities a chance to sit together and experience performance styles they might not have appreciated before. By juxtaposing different artistic genres and emphasizing experimentation, HUT creates a unique space for building a new sense of public engagement and appreciation for the arts.
