• VELOCITY x RITUALS POP UP CLASSES

Velocity and Rituals are excited to invest in this partnership, founded on intentional community building, process over product, and physical research through the tender magic of class taking.

              Fri. OCT 2 | 9:30-11:30am | Body as Altar

              with Jay Carlon


              Class Level: Open Level


              Body as Altar is an embodied workshop led by Jay Carlon that accompanies his performance HARNESS. Through movement, meditation, reflection, and communal altar-building, participants explore the body as a site of memory, ritual, and healing. Rooted in the Indigenous Filipino philosophy of Kapwa (shared identity), the workshop invites participants to honor grief, cultivate connection, and imagine collective transformation. No dance experience is required.

              Tues. OCT 6 | 9:30-11:30am | Fluid Dynamics

              with Vlada Kremenović 


              Class Level: Open Level


              In this improvisational dance workshop, we will dive into the evolving relationships between body, forms, imagery and time through guided movement scores and collective experimentation.


              We will begin with a warm-up that journeys from the floor to standing, drawing inspiration from biological and geological processes. Through a series of compositional exercises, we'll deepen our connection to each other, time, and space while making room for curiosity, play, and meaning-making. The workshop will culminate in a group exploration of a score from my upcoming performance, MEDUSA, inspired by the jellyfish life cycle.


              Open to everyone interested in movement and physical exploration, no prior dance experience is necessary.

              Fri. OCT 9 | 9:30-11:30am | Studio Practice

              with Jesse Zarrit


              Class Level: Open Level


              Class will begin with guided research practices that examine relationships between curiosity, desire, strength, organizations of effort/force and ideology/aesthetics: practices of critical physicality! Phrase-work will be shared as a portal to play. Choreographed material will act as a set of coordinates that anchor an exploration of exaggeration and sensation. We’ll fall into and out of lush, decadent movement experiences.
