Movement Class with artist Sam Mitchell
Everyone is welcome. Native community members are strongly encouraged to attend.
Sam's movement class incorporates his work with Rosy Simas, as well as the many physical training methods he's trained with as a performer and teacher, including yoga, Feldenkrais, Indigenous practices, cognitive re-patterning, Suzuki training, Viewpoints, Augusto Boal’s Games for Actors and Non-Actors, contemporary dance technique, gymnastics, and Min Tanaka's Body Weather/MB training. By centering love, respect, reciprocity, and empathy into this movement practice, we as a community will move towards an experience that flows with continuous non-stopping intention, pushing into our personal self-empowerment, agency, and empathy. It will also be really fun!
This class is free and open to the public, but we strongly encourage you to reserve a ticket in advance, as space is limited.
 Sam Aros Mitchell is Yaqui (enrolled Texas Band of Yaqui Indians). Sam earned his MFA in Dance Theatre from UC San Diego (Kumeyaay territory), and a BFA in Dance from UC Santa Barbara (Chumash territory).
