Embodying Transformation: Movement Artists and Restorative Justice Practices
Workshop facilitated by Halley Phillips of The Restorative Justice Institute of Maine
@ SPACE Gallery
Our programming goals include:
1) Creative Practice: Sharing creative tools, celebrating our dance lineages, performing our creative work, and embedding our organizing in the context of physical practice.
2) Resource Management: Exploring and sharing resources, redistributing toward under-resourced artists and communities, envisioning more sustainable funding and presentation structures.
3) Social Practice: Exploring methods of solidarity and collective care taught to us by dance and utilizing the momentum of relationship to better serve our communities and one another.
The first Maine Mini Fest will run January 12-14th, 2024 and will consist of multiple events happening at SPACE Gallery and Casco Bay Movers Studio.
