🕒 10:30am - 11:50am

📍 1306 S. Michigan Ave, Chicago IL

$15 - 90 TICKETS

This workshop draws from Textile Dances, a series of kinetic fabric works devised by Rachel Damon over the last 10 years. Abstract motions drive and follow the textiles, stemming from modern dance, martial arts, and needlecraft choreographies.

All bodies, minds, and identities are invited to take part. Language, lighting, and sound accessibility requests can be made by contacting The Dance Center.

Wear clothes you are comfortable moving in. Bare feet and minimal hair pins or jagged accessories are recommended to minimize textile snags. Face masks, head coverings, binders, earplugs and other comfort tools are welcome. All movements can be modified to the dancer’s preferences.

Synapse Arts events actively welcome individuals with diverse identities, including all genders, sexual orientations, races, ethnicities, religions, abilities, income levels, ages, parent/caregiver statuses, backgrounds, and household structures. All Synapse Arts events are relaxed and sensory-friendly.

For accessibility service requests, please contact info@synapsearts.com or call or text 947-2CREATE (947-227-3283).
