Dance as Radical Self-Care

Presented during Trojan Family Weekend, the event will include two guided movement workshops led by renowned Kaufman faculty d. Sabela grimes and Bret Easterling and a performance by USC students and alumni.

d. Sabela grimes will lead a hip hop session using Funkamental MediKinetics, a technique he created that focuses on the methodical dance training and community-building elements evident in Black vernacular dance practices, engaging the physical and metaphysical body through a series of movement meditations.

In the second workshop, Bret Easterling will lead an exploration of Gaga, an Israeli movement language that trains individuals to listen to their bodies, increase their energy, and cultivate attunement to one another as a group.

A performance by USC students and alumni will follow the movement workshops.
