EVENT DESCRIPTION

Voice and embodied practices to explore our relationship to speaking. Facilitated by brooke smiley. Presented by Bridge Live Arts' "Money in the Arts: Pathways to Equity" series. 

-

This session explores the implications of systemic cultural oppression and privilege as it relates to the voice, one’s sense of relative safety, and whole body expression. Participants will be guided to explore what occurs in the body when waiting to speak, speaking while not being heard, and speaking while being heard. Individual, small group and large group explorations will support space to observe embodied patterns, and explore resources for accessing the voice for differing outcomes. The intention is to uplift the relationship the voice has to cultivating a practice of valuing personal equity and negotiating boundaries for a sustainable art practice.
