Recess Gender Bender
12/13/2013
City: San Francisco, CA
Dances: Fusion

Vision Statement: At the Gender Bender Recess we are working to break down the conventional assumptions that negatively define our roles within the community based on our genders, our bodies, our sexual orientations, and our physical sex.

Curriculum Overview : The weekend will include the following three types of workshops.
Dance Workshops: Classes covering a variety of topics including: learning your non-dominant role, dancing switch, gender neutral dancing, role neutral dancing, and classes addressing how gender is expressed by or projected onto movement.
Activist Workshops: Interactive workshops and discussions addressing larger cultural and community issues such as gender assumptions, homophobia, sexism, consent, and the sexualization of dance.
Facilitated Discussions: Focused conversations designed to create constructive and safe spaces to share personal experiences, discuss issues we see in our community, and construct action plans to bring home after the event.

The curriculum will be scheduled so that participants can shape the focus of their weekend in whichever way they prefer. Come and spend an entire intensive weekend working on your dancing and your non-dominant role. Come and spend an intensive weekend talking about and workshopping some of the hardest hitting gender and oppression issues in the community. Or take a combination of activist and dance centered classes. One of our largest goals in this event is to create new bridges between dancer allies who are new to the activist scene and long time activists whose lens can help us create the community we all deserve.

Weekend Blues Workshop with Barry
12/7/2013
City: Berlin
Dances: Fusion

WBWB is an intensive 7 hours Blues Weekend Workshop dance experience designed to enhance and improve your overall movement application. It will help you take the technical information and transform it into movement application. So if you want to geek out on Blues, improve your body awareness and see improvement in the way you move in just one weekend, this is the workshop for you.

Barry "The Man" Douglas:

It is hard to describe Barry. After all of his dancing experience from childhood onwards, his successes and teaching in over 24 countries some say he is the legend, others describes his as the ambassador of the Blues, others as just TheMan. He is really "The Man" of Blues and it would be a pity to miss this great dance legend while he is in Berlin.

Even before starting his formal training, at the age of 12, Barry was learning Blues standing on his grandfather's feet and listening to his grandpa's stories of the “Black Bottom”, the “Dirty Boogie” and the party days of Juke Joints and Speak Easies! His fascination with these stories and others about Blues dancing and its relationship to slavery is what inspired him to start his long and joyous journey in the world of professional dancing. Although he is certified in 16 different dances and has won multiple state and national championships, he still retains his street roots and his fascination with the Blues.

His smooth, authentic style and method of teaching will provide you with all the little technical details you need to make your dancing smoother and more fluid.
