Groove + Connect with Saira Barbaric

SEP 26 | 7 - 8:30 PM

The Beacon | 812 Rainier Ave S

Join Saira Barbaric for a movement workshop of improvisation, games and disco. Experience Saira’s developing style that brings together burlesque, club dance, pleasure practice and play for a sensual and lighthearted dance session. Beginning with history and cultural context, we will warm up, move on our own and find ways to travel together and connect. Led by the rhythm and the goals of the games, movers will get a taste of Soul Train with a queer crip guide and an  accessible framework to support a wide range of disabilities, ages  and skill levels. 

Workshop and games were originally created for Axis Dance Company’s summer 2023 Choreo-Lab as rehearsal prompts for the in-progress work, A NEW GUEST.
