In this experiential workshop we will explore embodied consent as boundary practices through the lens of Fusion Partner Dance. Participants will learn the basics of connection and consent, build body awareness, and practice setting boundaries through dance and movement. This workshop is great for anyone who is interested in developing an inner sense of consent and practicing giving and receiving no. Your yes means nothing if you can’t say no! No prior dance experience required, just willingness to move! Masks are required and will be provided at the door.
