This time our facilitated portion of the night before the jam will be lead by Lou Cooper! They will lead some warm ups and partner/group time. Check out their bio below!

Lou Cooper (they/them) is an interdisciplinary performance and teaching artist with their BA in Dance: Choreography & Performance from Saint Mary’s College of California. They are also a professional Bay Area choreographer and director who has created work for numerous community, youth, and professional theaters. Lou loves free, somatic, and radical movement (and queer people) and is honored to supporting this incredible new project! 

Please be on time if you can! We will have an opening circle to orient everyone to the space & exhchange names/pronouns. Then we'll move into some gently facilitated warm-up time before moving into the jam during the second hour.

Join us at Wildcat Studio to move, play, dance with other trans and queer folks... no dance/movement experience is required. This space was born out of the desire to have an exclusive movement improv space for queer people that centers trans bodies to build comfort and trust outside of a cis/het centric space. This is our third offering as a pop up, so if you LOVE it let us know and we will keep doing it. The longer term vision is to be able to to bring in different trans/queer movement facilitators at the beginning of the events for some gentle facilitation before having an open jam floor. Contact improv may be an option in this space but is never requried, and CI elements will be approached from a consent-oriented and queer centered way. We plan to have live instrumental musicians if possible, and recorded music as part of the soundscape.
