Beads of Rain: Dance as Liberation

A high-energy movement ritual exploring ancestral memory, resilience, and the power of dancing yourself into felt freedom.
About this Event

What if freedom is not a concept, but a sensation?

In this immersive movement experience, dancer Clinton Harris guide participants into the electric field of shared energy, ancestral memory, and the liberating power of feeling. This is where the body speaks, and movement becomes language. Drawing from African diasporic movement traditions and the pulse of contemporary choreography, this workshop explores how dance carries ancestral memory, resilience, and imagination forward.

We will move through grounded phrases and expansive improvisation to the rhythms created by Pedro Rodriguez to explore how presence shifts a room and how shared rhythm opens trust. Expect guided sequences, educational moments on the legacy of place and time of specific Diasporic movement, vibrant energetic exchange, and collective witnessing. 

We will “dance the fantastic”—crossing the threshold from effort into aliveness. 

This is about letting energy circulate until something unlocks.. Until Liberation arrives.

 Come ready to move beyond inhibition and into Freedom felt.

Refreshments will be provided
