Sunday
13:00-14:30
Studio 3
This is a ritual space, designed and informed by our own trans and non-binary experiences, as well as those of our shifting physical abilities. Our bodies are always changing! From big changes such as gender affirming surgery to small, every day cycles: we invite you to explore your own experience of grief and joy at these changes and play with that. In small groups we will guide you with different impulses, and you can choose to oscillate between grief and joy, regret and relief, glitter and ashes, through silly or serious encounters. This workshop is for everybody: whether you are trans or not, whatever your age is or how energetic you feel on that day.
