Question 1

Is the venue ADA accessible?

Accepted Answer

The venue has a garage, which is ADA accessible, and a backyard area, which requires taking a few stairs up from the garage. If there is anything we can do to better accommodate your experience, please let us know! Send us an email at transmovementcollective@gmail.com.

Question 2

I'm not really a dancer. Is this space right for me?

Accepted Answer

ABSOLUTELY! If you have a body, you are a dancer. Dance can mean sitting still, walking in circles, clapping your hands, truly anything at all. We are gathering to explore what freedom in your body can mean as a trans person. If that is of interest to you, then we would love to have you.

Question 3

I am questioning my gender but don't consider myself trans. Am I welcome in this space?

Accepted Answer

Heck yeah you are! We welcome all who identify as gender fluid, gender non-conforming, trans, non-binary, agender, and the many wonderful identities that make up the gender spectrum. THERE WILL BE NO GENDER POLICING IN TMC. If you attend, no one should question your gender or decide if you belong.

Question 4

I consider myself staunchly cis. Should I attend?

Accepted Answer

While we stan a trans ally, we ask that only gender expansive (aka non-cis) attendees participate. That said, if you would like to be involved, you can donate to TMC to support our operating costs and sponsor attendance for trans dancers to attend for free!

Question 5

What the heck is conscious dance?

Accepted Answer

Conscious dance is the practice of turning off your brain to move your body, free of expectations and without choreography. Some popular types of conscious dance include 5Rhythms, Open Floor, and Contact Improv. You can dance alone or with others. All abilities are welcome!

Question 6

I am sensitive to lights, sounds, etc. Is this space right for me?

Accepted Answer

We want all of our gender explorers to be as comfy as possible in our space. We will provide eye covers and ear plugs for anyone who needs it.

Question 7

How do I get to the venue?

Accepted Answer

Public transit options to the venue include the Metro E Line and the 105 and 212 bus, and there is plenty of free public parking. We are always happy to give rides whenever we can. Send an email to transmovementcollective@gmail.com if you need help getting to or from the event.
