An all-bodies, all-level movement class, Awaken + Embody is an experience in listening, tuning in, and coming back to the present moment. Incorporating a blend of sound, meditation, breath-work, and guided movement, participants shift from an internal focus to a collective focus, culminating the class with improvisational tasks and consensual contact improv games. Through becoming attuned to the body together, we integrate the heart, mind, and natural world as a means for participants to feel collective interconnectedness. Come experience a safe and playful environment while exploring ways to free your mind/body through movement and sound.

Process + Express is an open-level, interdisciplinary workshop that blends creative writing, facilitated dialogue, and embodied movement practices to support personal reflection, creative expression, and community connection. Rooted in HOLDTIGHT’s artistic process, the workshop offers participants an accessible entry point into interdisciplinary creation using body, voice, language, and imagination. Process + Express is created and led by HOLDTIGHT Artistic Director Gwendolyn Gussman.
