Workshop: The Body Remembers, The Body Rewrites 

What happens when we begin to question the beliefs we’ve always carried? The Body Remembers, The Body Rewrites is an interactive workshop where movement, reflection, and conversation meet. Participants will be invited to look inward and reflect on what they identify with, what they believe, and what they are reaching for. Together, we will explore the process of unraveling deeply ingrained beliefs – or reflect on ones you have already undone.

Open to both movers and non-movers, the session offers multiple ways to participate—through gentle movement, gesture, writing, observation, and discussion. Together, we will explore:

• How ingrained beliefs and values live in our bodies
• What it feels like to disrupt and unravel them
• How we might reimagine and rebuild new ways of being

Please bring a journal, water, and movable clothes.

This community workshop is related to The Click’s performance project Undone, directed by Katrina Conte. Undone is an alternative cabaret-style that unravels tightly bound convictions of the self and encourages a reflective reclaiming of one’s identity through moving performances of poetry, song and dance. Undone will premier informally in MAGMA at 7:30pm following the workshop. Tickets are available for purchase via The Click’s Eventbrite profile. This workshop is made possible in part by a grant from the Gloucester Cultural Council, a local agency, which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
