All levels of movement are welcome. People with specialized or mixed ability are welcome. All children are welcome. Children who can write independently and move through intergenerational spaces independently will be able to participate without assistance. Children who are younger developmentally will need assistance from parents or caregivers.
FlyGround’s Dancing for Justice Philadelphia Initiative or DFJ Philly | FlyGround will provide a Release + Restoration Session for People of Color Only to individually and collectively check-in with our connection to the lived experiences that reside in and arise from our bodies due to the current U.S. racial and social climate. This is a movement-based session where participants will embody diasporic movement practices descendent from black/African peoples and cultures as socially-immersive, community-building foundations. This session is geared towards centering movement as a place of recalibrating the body with restorative practices regarding facing various states of racial violence everyday while also honing the sensibilities offered by the natural environment to expand beyond a human orientation to existence.
This offering is in response to the 2017 aquittal of the police officer who killed Philando Castille in Minnesota, the killing of 15-year old Jordan Edwards in Texas in April 2017, the recent 2017 Charlottesville VA White Supremacy March, and countless everyday visible/invisible racial violences against humanity in the U.S.
